Gaganendranath Tagore was a Bengali painter and cartoonist of the Bengal school. Along with his brother Abanindranath Tagore, he was counted as one of the earliest modern artists in India. In this image the grotesquely depicted Brahmin (a term referring to those at the top of the Hindu caste system) is shown indulging himself with food, wine and women. He is depicted with four arms and hands, like that of a Hindu god. With one of his hands he strangles a chicken, with another he holds a glass of 'sonti' or rice wine, with his left arm he holds onto a woman and with another he caresses some eggs. On his shoulder rests a woman who holds a huqqua and is throwing out of the window pages from the Vedanta, holy hindu scriptures; thus proclaiming that this Brahmin's morality has just been thrown out.
