5 Artists Who Stormed the Nation by Expressing Their View

Bangalore: When art is created for art’s sake it rarely makes any impression. Good or bad, art is meant to leave an impression on the audience, on the society and the time when it was created otherwise it serves no purpose. Such is the case when an artist takes a bold step and challenges society by making a farce of the social pretenses. These Indian artists were scorched by the country for their bold steps using their imagination and right for expression, before they knew there is a price to pay. Here are the 5 Indian artists as listed by Daniel Pinto for dnaindia.com.
