Centre to approach SC to facilitate homecoming of MF Husain
To put an end to the litigations against renowned painter MF Husain and ensure his early return to the country, the Centre is contemplating to approach the Supreme Court for expeditious disposal of all cases arising out of his controversial paintings.
Home Ministry sources said the cases filled across the country against Husain should be brought to a logical conclusion and this will enable the government to work out a focused strategy to bring him back.
The 94-year-old Husain, who has been living in exile for the last few years, wants to come back to India and had recently made an emotional appeal in this regard.
The Delhi High Court in May last year quashed some of the criminal proceedings against the nonogenarian painter, saying his paintings were an expression of creativity.
Husain's lawyer Akhil Sibal said that it would be a good step if government takes pro-active steps to facilitate his early return.
Another example of the centres playing vote bank politics.
When Salman Rushdie wrote his book even before anyone asked it, the centre banned the book.
When the minorities of Bengal objected to Taslima Nazreen's novel, the government not only banned the book post haste but declard her persona non grata in Bengal and asked her to go abroad.
This man uses his artistic freedom for defiling Hindu gods and godesses and mother India and the Congress is approaching the Supreme Court to allow him to enter India.
The centre cannot even control the Maoist and they plan to open a new front against the Hindus.
The BJP is in disarray.
It is handing them an opportunity to regroup using this plank of appeasment of the minority

I believe Hinduism has been a very liberal religion allowing their Gods and Godessess being painted nude .Hussain didnt dare to depict muhammed nude knowing well the Salman Rusdie episode .He wisely chose to go for the safer bet .Congress and the leftists have always played apeasement politics in India.
In the name of abstract art nudism cannot be promoted.True art is sublime and soothingand easy to understand.Monalisa's paintin is drawn with such simplicity that even a child can understand the smle from all angles.
The other day in Delhi Iwas with an industrialist friend of mine who invests in art and reaps a fortune after few years.Courtesy that friend of mine I bumped into a high profile art gallery where oilwork of a contemporary artist(Hussain type) was being made available only to a select crowd. The middleman was trying to sell of a piece of modern art which was beyond mycomprehension and many out there and from the very basic understanding of art Icouldmakeout that the guy was trying to sellit off ata premium. on quzzing the middlemen on the poor brushwork of the artist informed me that the brushwork is a reflection of the mood of the artist at the time of preparartion of the masterpiece priced at 5 lakhs.Speechlees for sometime my 14 year career in sales and marketing realised the "art of selling art."
Today in India we rarely get the stuff like Jamini roy,Bikash bhattacharya or anjoli ela menon .
More the bohemian you are the more you sell.Get some pot bellied babu'sto buy one or two throw a good media dinner and lo behold you are on Page3 - artist of the year.
