Answer
The emergence of "New" India after the partition of 1947 greatly inspired Husain's work. He was born in British India, and his early paintings often depicted scenes from Hindu mythology and Mughal history. However, after the partition, Husain began to focus on the trauma and dislocation that had been caused by the division of India.
