Satish Gujral's astute observation of the profound changes in the subcontinent is encapsulated in this compelling painting. In a nation that once thrived on agrarian roots and fought for independence, the current struggle with modernity unfolds. Gujral masterfully conceals the dichotomy of man versus machine within the motif of a figure taming an ox. The twisting of leather, the wringing, and the pent-up power symbolize both tension and energy. The vivid contrast of yellows against a violet background visually accentuates this dynamic interplay. Amidst the motion, the male figure's strangely calm expression, painted in a serene blue hue, adds a layer of enigmatic calmness to the narrative.
