His ‘style’ has come out of his blending of the history of his time with the incessantly changing socio-political surroundings. He imposes the ‘pictorial stability’ on the ceaseless flux of life. In fact, in ‘Mapping the Fall’ the readers have already noticed this process of interpenetration, and this is true of any creative artist and his creations.” – Santo Dutta quoted and reprinted in [BKC, 2005].
