The abrupt withdrawal of the latest issue of a literary magazine and the apology tendered by the publishers following protests against the publication of a painting and the image of a sculpture from communal quarters have caused anxiety in literary circles in Kerala.
Malayala Manorama, the biggest media group in the state, recalled the December issue of its 125-year-old literary magazine Bhashaposhini after objections were raised against an illustration showing a half-naked dancer surrounded by nuns and the photograph of a sculpture of the spiritual leader of Ezhava community.
The painting, an artistic interpolation of Leonardo da Vinci’s classic 15th century mural — 'The Last Supper' — by noted painter Tom Vattakkuzhi accompanied the review of a play Mrudwangiyudeh Durmruthyu (The Unnatural Death of the Fragile) was carried in the issue of the literary magazine.
