Let's play "Find The Question"!

I think Geeta Kapur is asking a question. On the other hand this might be a proscription. It might be an observation, or a hypothesis. But I'm sure there's a question in here somewhere.

Under the heading "Present Choices" Kapure writes:

"Indian artists must derive the norms of their actual practice from specific aesthetic and generic issues and indeed such material considerations as they find pressing in their geographical environment. Just as the first world continues to use the principle of primacy quite literally to subsume the polemic into a larger appropriative project--something through theory, sometimes through consumer tactics--the number of Indian artists who mark their local affiliations as the ground of their speech, increases. If this is positioned against the recognized hegemony of the national and the modern, the question arises, is this a postmodern proclivity?"
