"Harijan paintings may seem repetitive but only from a distance. On a closer look, one sees no real symmetry in them but an unceasing surge of new patterns. Diverging parallels, distorted circles and freedom from the constraints of naturalism can be interpreted as a contesting of established rules. Thus, by painting, Harijans reassert the human dignity that was denied to them through centuries of caste rule. "
