dbp:quote
  • "In 1984, I gathered some students from La Martiniere and told them that I shall give them 50 rupees per day if they come out and paint with me. We selected a public wall and started painting on it. We didn't erase the political jargons but turned the wall into our canvas. People were curious at first and then appreciative". (en)
