• It was a special one-time exhibition to commemorate the struggle of Indian freedom fighters.

• There were paintings from many different artists including some world-famous ones like Rabindranath Tagore, Raja Ravi Verma, and M.F Hussain.

• However, all the paintings were on the life of Indian freedom fighters.

• Some of the paintings showed them with their families before they became involved in the freedom struggle and some paintings depicted them actively protesting or fighting against the British.

• I think this was intentionally done to highlight the sacrifices that the freedom fighters made for India’s independence.

• Along with each painting, there were labels in Hindi and English describing the context of the paintings.

• When my parents told me about the exhibition, I wasn’t interested, and I thought that I would get really bored.
