TEXT: Krishen Khanna, News of Gandhiji's Death, 1948, Oil on canvas.  In 1948, Mahatma Gandhi was shot by right-wing religious extremists. Khanna's painting is a balancing act of horror and hope. Here, newspapers are clutched in the hands of people from the different faiths of India's population Muslims, Christians, and Hindus all gather in grief. As we step back from the painting we realise that the fragmented group comes together to form a map of the subcontinent. ZJ
