A Contemporary Renaissance in India
Lopa Mukherjee
Oct 12, 2014
The first Renaissance in India came from the urge to win freedom from colonial rule.
After independence the euphoria of freedom quickly disappeared. The onerous task of rebuilding a nation loomed ahead.
Very soon it was found that there were still more enemies to conquer. Not external enemies this time, but internal ones.
The post-independence generation of Indian artists and intellectuals rose to meet the challenge.
