Indian Artists Protest Artist’s Arrest

“Indian artists have condemned last week’s arrest of a post-graduate student from a university campus in the state of Gujarat. The state is currently governed by the right wing Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP). The activists said that the work of Chandra Mohan is “obscene and distasteful” because it shows naked men. The dean of the arts faculty at the university was suspended for opposing the student’s arrest. Chandra Mohan was released on bail after being imprisoned for four days.”
