Sunday, April 25, 2004 Erotica to erotic kya? - Times of India " 'By the dawn of the 17th century, sex as a subject was not as overt as it was earlier,’’ says Sandhya Moolchandani who along with Pawan Verma has authored Love & Lust, a book dealing with erotica in India and its depiction in various art forms down the ages. The subjugation of sexuality, says Verma, 'happened because Muslim and Victorian influences introduced a sense of guilt to what was an enlightened role of desire.' While the late 20th century saw a resurgence of sexual expression in India, 'erotica had lost its sensuousness by then,' says Moolchandani." |
