Installation, Political / Social, 69.8x69.8x7.62cm
These artworks based on, how religious intolerance has increased in India. We have seen many cases of politically motivated religious violence in recent past. In spite of the fact that Secularism is one of the essential elements in the basic structure of the Indian Constitution, religious feelings, not only govern our mode of thinking, but get reflected in our politics and public administration, participation in religious functions and asking for votes in the name of religion.
All political parties use religion to come to power. While professing secularism, vote banks are systematically built on the basis of religion and caste. Politicians do not hesitate to foment communal violence if it serves their purpose. Every political party claims that it is the only secular party in India, pointing out that it takes care of the minorities better than the others.
This artwork is based on a quote by Mahatma Gandhi --"I do not expect India of my dreams to develop one religion, i.e., to be wholly Hindu or wholly Christian or wholly Mussalman, but I want it to be wholly tolerant, with its religions working side by side with one another.
But do we really follow, or we quickly bypass? These are questions that I leave up to the viewer to decide.
