What are our contemporary artists doing? Johny ML answers his own question- they ‘refuse to see the darkness as the light is so strong and the light, for the time being looks like eternal’:

In Orissa, Christian missionaries and those poor people who just for food and education converted to Christianity are burnt down and brutally assaulted? There are so many successful Orissan artists in India. What did they do at that time? When Bihar was afflicted by the floods, what did our successful Bihari artists do? We all talk about secularism, but when it comes to defined terrorism, we all become Hindus, Muslims, Christians and so on. Money has blinded us and it has rendered us insensitive. I don’t say that all the artists should go out in the streets and work for social causes. But there are some risky areas where one should be able to talk boldly- but none talks.
