Admirers of Hinduism regard the change from the old sympathetic humanist Buddhist art to the 'idealist' representations of Puranic and Tantric mythology as pure progress. I am not able to agree with that view. But nothing would be gained from emphasizing this difference of opinion by prolonged controversial argument, which fails to touch the fundamental divergence of sentiment.
