> Regarding your comments  "we can not upload the photograph of any old Indian painting or sculpture to Wiki Commons."  I am just clarifying you that can do that. You you have to prove that those images are "old Indian painting or sculpture" by proper source and painter and sculpture name.

The point is that in most cases, it is not possible to prove anything.
In copyright law, like in all legal issues, the proof is usually on
the accusation.
In Commons, it is reversed, the proof is on the uploader, which s/he
cannot do in many cases of Hindu paintings. Thus the system is skewed.
