Our national senses must indeed be in dire straits. We were a people able to see God in the stones as we worshipped. And now just because a band of intolerants calling themselves 'Hindutva' activists can see only the nudity of a woman where the artist can see the Goddess, we come to an impasse. And instead of reigning in the ignorants, we banish the good artist overseas for decades and only now get our panties in a twist over his Qatar citizenship. There's not a blurring of the acceptable and unacceptable, nor an absence, but a complete reversal. We are sorry,as we ought to be, but only for our loss.
