[I conclude with a line of Shelley, he said, “Imagination is the organ of moral nature of man.” So we can say that the art, as being based upon that very Imagination can and do determine the moral values in human minds and society as well. ]

Dear Nadeem,

I feel you can not say that. Best form of art like Music, is not slave of languages and morality. It is a typical case of let me use a sanskrit word `anubhuti` that is perception with feeling. Music is beyond good and evil and beyong morality and linguistic.
