A discovery , which became a passion and found its true meaning through discussions with Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru, and called India world's Holy Grail. A well-known French novelist, an art theorist, Minsister for Information and later Minister for Cultural Affairs under de Gaulle's Presidentship, Andre Malraux was fascinated by the Graeco-Buddhist art, which he discovered at a young age , while visiting the Musee Guimet, in France. For him, this art form was unique as it was a blend of both oriental and oc- cidental cultures. Malraux 's fascination would have perhaps ended just like that, but for the fact that, when his father, Fernand-George Malraux, committed suicide in 1930, due to the stockmar- ket crash and onset of the great depression, he was hold- ing a book on Buddhist thought about afterlife. |
