the lovers of bengal
#.png#taking 'its gay af to be mughal' 2 a new level#had to spend some time researching the bengal school of art + indian contextual modernism for a project last month#and it was fascinatin g tbh but i feel like any research on south asian history is going to feel incomplete#without the mention of caste#like with the bengal school specifically it was like. um. indian revivalist art so like going back to mughal miniatures and iirc patachitra#but the framing of it as like 'going back to our ancestral roots' is funnyyyyy to me#but anyways this made me spiral into watching 70s ritwik ghatak documentary films#one of them was about bengali communists. there was a guy dressed up as lenin for a play#he looked like.one of my uncles it was so funny
