For example, Punjabi artist Pran Nath Margo’s painted Farewell in 1945. It shows Indian soldiers leaving for war on a train (something captured in photos and paintings all over the world) but also includes a distinctly Indian practice.

Opium production and exports expanded dramatically in Qatar Persia and Ottoman Anatolia in the second half of the 19th century. Persians even supported free trade!

The maps always include just a few well known examples of resistance. I wish I could make maps and include more!
