Would you call them graffiti, Magiceye? Isn't graffiti the art of the oppressed? Isn't this more a right of "passage" art into the heart of Maharashtra past the cops, the goons, the mafia...
I submit that you are absolutely correct in your observation Bhavana. However my view is that Graffiti as the art of the oppressed was the origin but now it has grown into an art form and what is displayed on the truck can be termed as Territorial graffiti to establish identity and yes as a 'right of passage' past the oppressors. :)
I guess all of our worlds share graffiti decorated trucks these days!! Great capture!

Lovely truck:)
ReplyDeleteHow typical...
ReplyDeleteSheesh! I would be a little ticked if that was my truck. Maybe the owner should park it elsewhere?
ReplyDeletei wonder what the graffiti says.
ReplyDeletehere, it's either a macho statement or religious.:p
It is religious, political and economic graffiti!!
DeleteDeepak you choose interesting subjects-this truck is so colorful & beautiful in it's own way.
ReplyDeleteGlad you like it Indu
