He considered Hindi his mother tongue, and although he had a deep knowledge and command of French and English, he remained immersed in Hindi, even after spending sixty years in France. It is no accident that in the latter half of his artistic career, all his paintings were titled in Hindi. He is perhaps the only one among the worlds leading painters of the 20th and 21st centuries who inscribed lines from Sanskrit, Hindi, and Urdu poetry in Devanagari on over a hundred of his paintings. For years, whenever I would spend time with him in Paris, at his insistence, I would take with me newly published books of Hindi poetry: his collection, now part of the Raza Archives in Delhi, included a large collection of Hindi poetry. One of Razas concerns was the lack of good books in Hindi on many subjects. Especially regarding the arts and ideas, he wanted us to take some initiative.
