MF Hussain the OUTCAST

Hello people there is too much talk doing the rounds these days on MF Hussain – “the great Indian Painter”. However there are two entirely different points to be focussed on & dealt with seperately:

(1)    MF Hussain being driven out of the country. Yes this is where I have a serious problem. In India it is the lynching of democracy that keeps happening to millions of people in this country, infact easier done than said. YOU CAN EASILY IMPLICATE ANYONE & EVERYONE IN A FALSE CASE. I know it as I have experienced it myself. Interestingly a person so implicated has to get dutifully arrested, then released on bail & then begins the never ending saga i.e. do the rounds of the court  for years to come (for if you do not do that you would be arrested & put in Jail for non-appearance) till that dawn when presumably a judgement may be passed in your favour or if you are not so lucky against you wherein you find yourself catapulted into the next level of entanglement i.e. appealing & hearing & so on…. What I want to say here is that : if it is say upto a dozen cases may be you have the time, energy & money to deal with this unfortunately complicated legal system that we have in our otherwise beautiful country but for a man to be attacked & loaded with 900 odd bloody cases piled up against him OooPS…. Man it is too much… what else do you expect when you are FORCING SOMEONE INTO EXILE ? Any man if he wishes not to accept doing rounds of the court as his “never ending” career will do exactly what MF Hussain has done. So who is to blame naturally the “BLIND LEGAL SYSTEM” in this country & the GOVERNMENT who sponsors it.

(2)    Now for the second part; Can MF Hussain agree to see someone paint his own mother in the Nude ?or for that matter can any one of us tolerate to see our mothers or sisters painted in the nude and tagged or hailed as “a modern piece of art”? If the answers is NO he should not have ever played with the sentiments of millions of people of this country. What he has painted cannot be justified under “FREEDOM of expression ” under any context since it has hurt the religious sentiment of one or the other religion.

Jai Hind !
