“Tyeb Mehta got up from a very sick-bed, against his doctor’s orders, and painted the outstanding blow-up of his traffic leitmotif ‘falling figure’ for the extensive backdrop of the stage erected for the 12 hour cultural sit-in at Shivaji Park.
     “After the concert one was left with yet another definition of communalism – it is the richness and variety of our national history and culture… To those who are seeking creative ways and means of promoting secularism…. It established that there are hundreds of modes of integration waiting to be discovered.”
