Description

Dehejia has tried to create a place within the main frame of culture and philosophy of Indian art for a legitimate analytic theory called despair.

Dehejia's effort creates a space for the modern within Indian classicism, by negotiating the philosophy f despair in classical terms. As a result the basic schism that has grown in recent years between the philosophy and history of traditional arts, is today closer to being breached. This is no mean achievements.

Scholars, activists and observers of the Indian life and contemporary arts will be grateful to HRSHA Dehejia, Prem Shankar Jha and Ranjit Hoskote for the scope and innovativeness of their venture.
