Pseudo-Secularism - M F Hussain

Hi friends,

I have received some paintings of M F Hussian over the net wherein he depicts India, our Motherland, the States of India and the different goddesses whom we Hindus worship in the unclothed condition.
I won’t show the paintings, as they are demeaning.
I have been asked to give my comments.
What comments should I make against a sexually starved, depraved old man who has passed his youth?
And now imagines the female genitalia in everything.
People call it art but I think Freud would have called it otherwise.
If it was art he would have seen it everywhere not only in Hindu deities.
But he knows what is the penalty for thinking obscenely of anything connected with his own religion.
He is aware of the life Salman Rushdie and Taslima Nasreen have had to lead.
At least they had the guts to say what they wanted, but he does not even have the guts.
He believes that the Hindus are a docile lot and would accept whatever he ditches out.
Well this time the Hindu anger has been roused and he will have to live the rest of his life in exile outside India.
He will not be safe in India.
If Taslima can live outside Bangladesh, so can he live outside India.

God has given him certain gifts by which he can bring peace to humanity.
Instead, to gain media attention, he makes controversial use of his art to hurt people’s feelings
And the political lot, whom I love so much, want to show their pseudo-secular credentials,
By rewarding him so that they can pamper their vote banks.

Cheers.

M F Hussain is not the end of life.

We have other things for which to thank God, inspite of Hussain
