The concept of art has evolved over time, with different artistic styles developing in various cultures and periods.
Art styles are used to study and understand art history as they reflect the unique characteristics of a particular era and region.
India has a rich tradition of visual arts in painting and sculpting, reflecting its history and cultural heritage.

In post-1990 historical writings, women were portrayed as an independent social class challenging the traditional view of women as a dependent group in society.
