“Our relations with Japan are centuries old. We have respect for each other’s cultures. This is because of Bapu (Mahatma Gandhi) We all have heard his saying, ‘bura mat dekho, bura mat suno, bura mat kaho’ (see no evil, hear no evil, speak no evil). But very people know that the genesis of the three monkeys he chose to spread the message is in the 17th century Japan,” he said.

The three monkeys are Mizaru, covering his eyes, who sees no evil; Kikazaru, covering his ears, who hears no evil; and Iwazaru, covering his mouth, who speaks no evil.

Philosophy

This series of sculptures continues Gupta’s inspections of dualities in his artwork, including themes of war and peace, public and private, global and local.^[3] The phrase “See no evil, Hear no evil, Speak no evil” first emerged in Japan in the 17th century and was later adopted worldwide as a message of peace and tolerance due to Mahatma Gandhi’s visual metaphor of the three monkeys, with one of them covering his eyes, the second his mouth, and the third his ears.^[2]

Gupta’s sculptures recall Gandhi’s vision of these three monkeys as a way to peacefully fight against contemporary colonialism, oppression and injustice.^[

For Netflix, India is an extremely crucial market. On his visit to India, CEO Reed Hastings made that loud and clear with his aggressive Rs 3,000 crore investment plan for content. Last year, Netflix announced an exclusive mobile-only Rs 199 plan, the cheapest of all its subscription plans. Since its debut in India, the video streaming platform has been adding to its local language library, the popularity of which has helped it bump up its user base. But, in a highly competitive market like India, coupled with the fact that Netflix is a subscription-based platform (the most expensive in India), the company knows that adding new subscribers is not an easy task. The Rs 5 per month offer is, therefore, an attempt to on board new users who may shy away from the more expensive monthly ones.
