dhu,
mugal records are full of the names of individual Hindu artists (painters), especially attached to the court of Akbar. before this, Taimur mentions picking some Hindu artists during his raid of India, for taking them back to his mother land to construct a grand Masjid and his tomb with such architecture which only a wretched damned Hindu knows to fancy (so he says in his memoir). before, during Gupta-s, we know Mathur was a jati that was dedicatedly engaged to art and sculpture. In Mahabharat, names of architects and artists etc are specifically recorded.
