"Unknown to me the wounds of the famine of 1943, the barbarities of war, the
horror of the communal riots of 1946 were impinging on my style and engraving
themselves on it, till there came a time when whatever I did, whether it was
chiseling a piece of wood, or burning metal with acid to create a gaping hole, or
cutting and tearing with no premeditated design, it would throw up innumerable
wounds, bodying forth a single theme - the figures of the deprived, the destitute
and the abandoned converging on us from all directions. The first chalk marks of
famine that had passed from the fingers to engrave themselves on the heart persist
indelibly."
