In pakistan sadequain has the same position as the 17th century renaissance artists had in their times. apart from this I loved the following painting by sadequain, http://www.mughalarts.com/sadequain/paintings_15.htm not a big fan of calligraphic art, especially one that involves Quranic verses, doesnt make any sense to decorate walls and ceilings of your mosques and holy places with quranic verses, when you should be reading and understanding the deep underlying meaning of the holy verses.

I have learnt a lot about South Indian art, culture and history from your blog. I had never heard of Sadequain before...perhaps because he died when I was seven but I definitely enjoyed reading about him. That was a really cool post on Sadequain.
