Renowned artist Pushpamala answers questions from ArtAsiaPacific web site on the campaign by certain Indian artists to urge their compatriots to boycott the "Deconstructing India" show in Tel Aviv in April 2012.

Palestine belongs to the Arabs in the same sense that England belongs to the English or France to the French. It is wrong and inhuman to impose the Jews on the Arabs. What is going on in Palestine today cannot be justified by any moral code of conduct. Mahatma Gandhi Editorial, The Harijan, 26-11-1938

tere aaqa ne kiyaa ek filistin barbaad mere zakhmoN ne kiye kitne filistin aabaad Your master brought to ruin one Palestine But so many Palestines have been greened by my wounds
