City-based street artist who goes by the name Tyler, known for creating art on anti-fascist themes and anti-authoritarian symbolism on Mumbai's battered old walls announced on Monday that he will be creating a Walk of Shame on this Independence Day with the "the names of the most shameless figures across industries like Journalism, Bollywood, Politics etc will be painted on a street in Mumbai".

The announcement came on his Instagram page @tylerstreetart. Tyler said the idea for such public shaming came to him around four years ago. "This wave for liberty did not happen overnight, it has been a gradual process," he told mid-day. "When I was growing up, people didn't take much interest in politics. This has changed over time. It was only after the CAA-NRC protests last year that people went full throttle with their views and opinions. Jokes on political or public figures were not as common as they are now."
