I think these posters vanished from houses and shops of Muslims just the same way as photos of freedom fighters across India.In the past photos of Gandhi, Chandrashekar Azad, Subhas Chandra Bose were a common sight in homes, shops and offices. But all that started changing from mid-80s when the film stars replaced them.Probably urban upwardly mobile Indians didn't find them chic enough to put up in the drawing rooms.Recently in a rural fare I was surprised to see many such shops selling 'Islamic art'. Seems there ...

Islamic Art Exhibition in London [Digg]
2007-07-23 22:14:00 A new exhibition of Islamic art from across the Muslim world aims to do far more than unite unusual, luxurious and rarely-seen objects.
