Note: This topic was not named in the CUET 2026 syllabus, but it was part of the NCERT chapter. In 2025 and 2026, NTA also asked questions on topics in NCERT that the CUET syllabus did not name. So our mocks have questions from every part of the NCERT chapter, to give you enough practice. Read the whole chapter, not only the sub-topics named in the syllabus.
NCERT (2026-27): “Rural South Indian Man–Woman This is an etching print on paper made by Laxma Goud (1940...) in 2017. Laxma Goud, a fine draftsman and printmaker, studied mural painting and printmaking at M. S. University, Baroda… In this etching, human figures are shown with trees in the background. It is based on his childhood memories immersed in nature.…” “The New Figurative Art and Modern Art from 1980s …Figures of people and animals could be seen in the work of printmakers like Jyoti Bhatt (Devi), Laxma Goud (Man Woman, Tree) and Anupam Sud (Of Walls) as a way to show conflict between men and women in a world full of social inequality.”
