This photograph is a piece of a small town called Tuljapur (Maharashtra). These kinds of boards are found almost everyday carrying a new message in this market place.
What motivated these people to write such things? Aren’t they afraid of the law?
Our Constitution guarantees us Freedom of Speech under Article 19. But many a times the hand revolving the lathi hits the other's nose i.e. a person/group exercising its rights encroaches upon the rights of others. A probing eye is able to see that the bare existential rights of one group are challenged by another group- I do not wish to get into 'Minority/Majority' rambling. People are assaulted, put behind bars, threatened and even killed! But the ones with impudence to write such things publically are called ‘preservers of culture/religion’..

Harshada,
Frankly, culture is gift of land and waters, i.e. Nature, to all human beings. Culture is in the People. It is not in the discourses, art and letters, scripture: There are expressions of culture, and the expressions shall always very from place to place, and, now in the Industrial Age, even from person to person. Of coures, you need not agree!!! I find your post is very stimulating.
I have been in the shell; just came out to notice something worthwhile to browse!
Best
Remi
