British-Indian sculptor Anish Kapoor has alleged that the India Today magazine decided to junk his interview after he refused to remove or tone down his views on Indian society and politics. “If our journals of note are afraid, if we must censor ourselves out of fear, we are lost,” he said.
In an article in the Wire, the artist said that he was sent questions on June 30 about his ongoing exhibitions in Venice – at Galleria del Academia and Palazzo Manfrin – by a reporter freelancing for the magazine.
