Forget Ajmal Kasab, MF Hussain is the new national treasure!

Pornography is the new art & Hindu bashing, the latest fashion: conveys MF Hussain

Maqbool Fida Hussain is a great artist, visionary and a respectful Indian citizen. His work celebrates interpretation and improvisation on the canvas. [And the so-called modernism]. A talent so unrecognised and wasted by us Indians, and especially Hindus. The very proof lies in the fact that how we bigoted; inartistic, uneducated illiterate, educated illiterate, Indians harassed, victimized the great legend and pushed him to leave this raped country to find solace in a more tolerant, secular and democratic place.

After all, Hinduism is not India’s “official” religion, and therefore Hindu gods and goddesses are worthy enough to be painted nude, obscene and in a derogatory manner. We are prisoners of Victorian tastes and morality who do not know how to appreciate art and freedom of expression. How dare Hinduism still exist and be alive in the Y2K [post 9/11] world? If it still exists, it deserves to undergo insult, hate and continuous damage. Why blame the poor nonagenarian artist alone? He was, after all, just trying to make money like most of us. So what if he tried to make that money by humiliating Hinduism? Isn’t that the latest fashion, like Gandhi bashing? Where is the humiliation, by the way? He just painted Hindu deity nudes. So what if a portion of the population considers their deity mother and father? In Fine Arts, it is fine to paint your parents nude, oops!! In this case, someone else’s parents or the parents of the entire community. It is the modern world, modern art for dummies. Nudity is the purest form of art. Paintings, like any art, need to be understood and not condemned. So if Hindus did not complain when their deities were caricatured into cartoons, holy songs were mutilated and other such blasphemy, then why are they making such a hue and cry now? Gosh, how intolerant Hindus can be. They should suffer and cry in silence as always. Why do they protest? It is national treason and global sacrilege.

Mohd. Azhar is one of the most successful captains in Indian cricket. Once while playing a match in Bihar, someone stole his cap from the stands. It was such a great loss that he labelled all Bihari as “thieves” in a fit of emotion. Instead of giving a proper apology, he ran away crying, “I am a minority, I am a minority”. Nobody protested. The same minority-speaking person went ahead and divorced the mother of his two children, his wife, who apparently belongs to the same community, on the pious day of ID, to marry his celebrity girlfriend. Why did nobody remind him of his song from the cap controversy? However, when MFH does something radical, it makes national fodder. Tsch.

Several people leave the country and migrate abroad, reason whatsoever. Damn with them, they are cattle class. MF Hussain is the only national treasure after Ajmal Kasab.

On the other side of the coin, a huge amount of money [in lines of crores per day] is spent on the security of a handful of public servants, read politicians and their families. Whereas poor MF Hussain, who bought so much of GDP/foreign currency to our country and showed basic respect to the religious beliefs of its people, was not given VVIP security by the government of India. Sigh. Why do we give our hard-earned money to the government as taxes if they cannot buy a cradle for Hussain? So what, if Digvijay Singh cannot ensure the safety of non-Marathis in Mumbai, he will leave no stone unturned to bring MF Hussain back to the country.

Being Hindu in India is merely equal to khakhi knickers?
Poor MF Hussain, such a man of liberal ideology and communal harmony. He did nothing offensive, but we made him a scapegoat for a saffron activist. He is a naughty child who just painted deities nude, and how dare Hindus protest him? After all, it is more important for MF Hussain to be in India, so what if he makes a porn out of a nation’s religious beliefs to buy his phoren trips and comfort. Hindus be damned. Who has cared about them anyway? Common people, Mango people, Cattle class, we are. When a suave politician like Tharoor says the word, it becomes a national offence. His freedom of expression be damned, he must have a political interest behind. All Hindus are like VHP, BJP and Bajrang Dal, only politicians. It is more imperative to see Hindu issues as mere political campaigns. Hindu sensibilities and beliefs are mere caricatures of the saffron brigade. Is there any country as supportive as Qatar that can protect the religious sentiments of Hindus? Cause India is no longer a safe place for its so-called majority group. Sigh. Someone, pl do adopt us.

I am a Hindu, but I respect Islam too. So what if one of its followers maligned it by insulting the faith of another religion? I would never suggest that MFH or anyone paint his deity nude. Let whatever glory, beauty nudity brings; there are indeed better ways to practice freedom of expression instead. Mr. Hussain, pl feel blessed that you were born in a country like India and humiliated people like Hindus. You are leaving the nation rich, and UNPUNISHED is definitely a national loss. India must win you back. How? By paying a higher price for your disgusting paintings or by giving you national security? Well, after this controversy, your sales are going to boost, and your security is already taken care of in a new country. Alternatively, by giving you more leads of different religions, people, you can paint nude and mint money in the name of artistic display and freedom of expression.

Let me have another good guess- It can also be initiated by releasing a new movie of “Madhuri Dhak-dhak Dixit” exclusively in India. Who is Madhuri Dixit? Taboo-taboo!
