India, April 23 -- The spat between poet Aamir Aziz and artist Anita Dube over the use of Aziz's popular poem, Sab Yaad Rakha Jayega, in Dube's recent exhibition in Delhi, Timanjala Ghar: Three Storey House, raises questions about the ethics of art production. Sab Yaad Rakha Jayega, performed by Aziz first on YouTube in January 2020, was an anthem of sort for the anti-Citizenship Amendment Act protestors. Dube reproduced the poem in her work, "After Aamir Aziz", while acknowledging Aziz's authorship but, in the latter's words, "without his knowledge, consent, credit, or compensation", which violate Indian copyright laws. Aziz has hinted that his hurt and anger is as much about the form and context in which the poem was reproduced. In fact, he has said "if someone holds my poem on a placard at a protest, I stand with them". He has described Dube's work as "theft" and "erasure", whereas the latter claims her intent was to celebrate Aziz's verse. She has since acknowledged an "ethical lapse" and the work is no more for sale....
