 Income Tax India
In India, the system of direct taxation as it is known today, has been in force in one form or another even from ancient times.
From 1922 to the present day changes in direct tax laws have been so rapid that except in the bare outlines, the traces of the I.T. Act, 1922 can hardly be seen in the 1961 Act as it stands amended to date.
The amendments to the Income tax Act, in 1939, made two vital structural changes: (i) appellate functions were separated from administrative functions; a class of officers, known as Appellate Assistant Commissioners, thus came into existence, and (ii) a central charge was created in Bombay.

 The Hindu : Of art, artists and art history
Partha Mitter is on sure ground when he writes on the period of his specialised study, pre-independence nationalist art, to which he adds a small section on colonial architecture.
He also identifies 1922 as the year of the introduction of modernism to India when on the initiative of Rabindranath Tagore, an exhibition of Bauhaus artists was held in Calcutta.
This leads up to the vital point about the fact that the modern artist in India could not resolve the contradiction ``between a modern sense of alienation and the cultural cohesion expected of a nation engaged in an anti-colonial struggle''.
