Unity in Diversity' is based on Raja Ravi Varma's C19th allegorical painting 'Galaxy of Musicians', showing 11 female musicians dressed in the different costumes of India: signifying unity in diversity. The video contrasts this with later histories of the rise of fascism and the genocide in Gujarat in 2002. What starts off as a visual fairytale, where all parts of the nation play in harmony together, ends up in a bloodbath.
