Unity

'Unity', 

homage to the legacy of the 

Quit India Movement

Manish creates an emotional, beautifully painted and mature work of art as a visual memory of a crucial and symbolic moment in India’s fight for independence.

Unity focuses on the Quit India Movement in 1942, also known as the August Movement. Lead by the pacifist Mahatma Gandhi, the activists created a human chain demanding immediate independence for India and an orderly retreat of British forces. Their fingers were firmly joined together in a commitment to obtain freedom for the nation.

Although the Movement did not achieve independence, it proved a determining factor in Britain’s realisation that they would not be able to govern India in the long-term.

Newspaper script is an integral part of Manish pictorial language. The artist connects the entire scene by a series of squares and the human chain itself, only broken by the appearance of a British Style hat.
