“February 1915 Address by Justice Sir Asutosh Mukhopadhyaya, Journal & Proceedings of The Asiatic Society of Bengal. New Series, Vol. XI. p.36. Baptist Mission Press⟳. pub: The Asiatic Society, 1, Park⟳ Street, Calcutta. 1916. It is to the Rajputs, therefore, that the ultimate credit is due, not a small credit for a race⟳ of warriors, who in the pause of arms found time to devote to literary pursuits. May be, their action was inspired by a desire to gratify national vanity, as the subject of this literature was principally furnished by their own⟳ military exploits; but to show⟳ that they were not devoid of a literary taste⟳, examples can be quoted of warrior kings who were good judges of poetry, as also excellent composers. Theirs was, therefore, an intelligent maecenatism. It is superfluous to add⟳ that the fact that this literature is confined to a description of the life and history of the Rajputs, does not diminish its importance nor impair its universal character, as during the times in question⟳, the Rajputs were the principal ruling race⟳ and the only makers of history. This vast literature falls naturally into two sections: Bardic poems and prose chronicles. The former, which are older in origin and more extensive, are the products of the Bards, and they have⟳ both a literary and an historical interest⟳; whereas, the latter are the products of different classes of people and their interest⟳ is only historical, If under the term "bardic poems we comprehend all kinds of bardic poetry, we have⟳ here a literature which includes works ranging from a single couplet to poems of eight to ten thousand verses.”

Kluwer Academic/Plenum Publishers →ISBN In a way, the 1980s can be interpreted as a reversal of long-standing governmental attitudes toward foundations, as the 1987 law and subsequent initiatives intended to publicly encourage⟳ a revival of "mécénat" (i.e., maecenatism or patronage), especially in the field of arts and culture. Nevertheless, these recent legislative activities still place⟳ relatively heavy financial and regulatory restrictions on donors and foundations.”

“Looking at the history of the arts, we can see⟳ that centuries of Maecenatism, sponsorship and branding have⟳ made the use⟳ of art as decoration or embellishment the most obvious and evident practice within organisational art.”
