It looks like Indian politicians have taken a page out of the history books in efforts to proliferate their names in the subcontinent's current democratic election. The trick? Using graffiti and street art to promote themselves. So if you're wondering where this has been used before, the simple answer is that it has always been done, but not nearly to the extent as seen in the Roman Empire, when no wall with public access was immune to the scribblings of the masses. It looks like India is giving Rome a run for its money.
