Invasion
Originally created for a group exhibition of posters titled ‘Invasions’ (held at Palm Court, India Habitat Centre, New Delhi, in May 2003), this, somewhat negative looking graphic attempts to question modernisation. Development today is often confused with modernisation and a western, resource intensive lifestyle does not necessarily raise peoples standard of living. For a country like India to ‘develop’, it is perhaps more important for its people to have clean air to breathe, a healthy living environment, food, clothing and shelter, and access to educational and healthcare facilities than to adopt western style life and give up age-old, simple and sustainable ways of living. A debatable point 
I agree with this graphic. I hate such development. I hate all those who want to built eeverywhere, who take all the place, who force people to leave their village and district, to the name of modernity, and in fact who built prisons for modern and rich life, who live without sky, birds, trees, weathers. I cant accept this and unfortunately, governments to the name of progress, give the right to do this. And the rights of people are not respected. Exactly like in some isles, the Andaman island, where tribal are exterminated. Elisa.
