Two Nation Scary - Limited Edition 1 of 1 Photograph

A photograph depicting the artist as a Sikh i.e a Hindu Religious sect and a muslim both at the same time, reflecting upon the long lasting British rule, after the end of which two countries emerged – India and Pakistan. We tend to forget that our lifestyle and mindset have largely been influenced by our colonial past. The British influence has changed the way we look at ourselves and has stripped us of a confidence that comes naturally to a people belonging to an ancient and great civilisation. Colonization coerces people from subordinated culture to denigrate themselves. A kind of a virtual reality is created to expedite this attitude of self-hate among the native population. An alternate reality is created as a smokescreen to hide colonizer's repression, tyranny and exploitation. Ignorant of a history that has an enormous potential to extricate us from our state of self-depreciation, we continue to be a victim of this crime. This self hatred is so deep rooted that it's effects are visible in the form of extremist elements on both side of the Pak-India border that restrict the flow of a smooth relationship
