From: dhana raj keezhara <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> *India Foundation for the Arts pledges support for Chandramohan, Dr. Shivaji Panikkar and the cause of artistic freedom * India Foundation for the Arts wishes to place on record its shock and concern over the manhandling on May 9 of MS University Baroda, Fine Arts Department student, Chandramohan by persons labelling his art work obscene and offensive to religious sentiments. We are also deeply distressed about the blatantly unfair suspension of Dean Dr. Shivaji Panikkar. Dr Panikkar is one of the leading art historians of this country who has often and generously shared his expertise with us. This is a shameful moment in the history of our democracy. IFA calls upon everyone in the arts community and outside it to lend their voices in support of artistic freedom, civilised protest, open debate and tolerance for diversity. Let us do all we can to ensure that Baroda never happens again.
