Came across a Banksy inspired graffiti at Zorawar Singh Chowk in Jammu, a place somewhere in a more affluent part of Jammu covering Gandhi Nagar and Trikuta Nagar. It was probably my first visit to the chowk and Trikuta Nagar, even though I lived in the city for quite sometime.
The quote ‘Losing all hope is Freedom’ is from the film/novel ‘Fight Club’. Like the motif of religions nuking love.
The artist signature ‘Smoking Chimp’ is probably inspired by Bansky too. In fact, I read last year a bunch of Banksy inspired work cropped up around this area.

I've noticed on the first pic next to the Fight Club quotation, I see a crow dropping a bomb with the religious symbols of Islam, Hinduism, Christianity and Sikhism dropped on two birds embracing each other, but I can't see what the words are written below those two birds. Any ideas ?
It looks like words but actually it is just a branch on which the birds are sitting.
