When the Judges aren't qualified to Judge

If any of you have read Ayn Rand's Fountainhead, the story of Baroda art protest will seem somewhat similar to you. Except it has got an Indian tadka to it. Howard Roark, the protagonist of the book, faced some similar protest against his designed buildings. And he was all alone in it (I know it sounds a lot impossible). Our Baroda dewd Chnadu isn't all alone though, we are all with him.

Every new idea has faced by protest in its time. But later on, it is the people who protest who support it. Did the Indian Govt (including the police and the judges) ever heard of renaissance period? If they find M F Husain's art objectionable why don't they go and visit the renaissance museum. Here are some pics of the the paintings by Michelangelo.

In fact to all those "non-artists", David is one of the masterpieces of Michelangelo.

Howard Roark (Oh yeah, I am a big fan), never entered design contests. upon being asked why he had said that other people didn't have the mind to judge him and he won't give them a chance.


Parting words:-

The hardest thing to explain is the glaringly evident which everybody has decided not to see.
