There is no room for the essentialism of national boundaries or ethnic origins in creativity among writers, artists, and scholars. If any scholars – Indian or Western – have disagreements with Pollock, they should express themselves through their essays and books, not in politically motivated attacks on his work. |

49 | Sonja | Chandrachud | Author | India | I support this petition because attaching ethnic origins to the acquisition of knowledge dilutes the efforts of true scholars keen on imparting their perhaps invaluable contributions which must be viewed in an impartial light not branded anti national without fair debate. To quote Plato ‘Good people do not need laws to tell to act responsibly while bad people will find a way around the Laws.’ |
