As is the case with all stereotypical views, the problem with the revivalisticperspective on contemporary Indian art is not that it is totally false, but that itdistorts the nature of this art. This viewpoint has important implications for the perception of contemporaryIndian-produced art because it maintains that if Indian art is not recognizably"Tribal," it cannot be considered authentic, and is instead the art of anassimilated person who has lost his or her sense of Indian…

The oldest myth about the first human is that it came from the golden egg laid by the king of gods in the churning of the cosmic ocean. Modern science, of course doesn’t believe in myths, and suggest that our ancestors first walked out of Africa 80,000 years ago down to south india through Arabian sea.

All non Africans can trace their descent from here and rest of the world is populated from here.…
