M F HUSAIN 


The Delhi High Court has quashed the criminal proceedings against Painter M.F Husain and while doing so the Hon'ble Judges observed as follows:

" We have been called as the land of KAMA SUTRA, then why is it in this land we shy away from it's very name? Beauty lies in the eyes of the beholder and so does obscenity". Justice SANJAY KISHAN KAUL observed went on to quash criminal proceedings against Husain in three cases that had been transferred to Delhi.

" a painter at 90 deserves to be in his home -paininting his canvas"

" it is most unfortunate that India's new puritanism is being carried out in the name of cultural purity and ingnorant people vandalise art"

"Ancient art has never been dovoid of eroticism where sex worship and graphical representation of the union between man and woman has been a recurring feature"

Hon'ble High Court of Delhi.

SO SEE YOUR SELF THE FOLLOWING PAINTINGS OF M.F HUSAIN WHERE HE PAINTED NOT ORDINARY WOMEN OR MEN BUT HINDU GODS AND GODDESSSES IN SEMI CLAD OR WITH OUT, BUT MUSLIM PERSONS WERE DRAWN FULLY CLOTHED! ANY ANSWER?

The following paintings of Hindu Gods and Goddessess by M.F Hussain. Judge your self whether there is any obscenity or not!

Be a judge yourself of Hussain's paintings below.

Goddess Durga in sexual union with Tiger	Prophet's Daughter Fatima fully clothed
Goddess Lakshmi naked on Shree Ganesh's head	M.F. Hussain's Mother fully clothed
Naked Saraswati	Mother Teresa fully clothed
Naked Shri Parvati	Hussain's Daughter well clothed
Naked Draupadi.	Well clothed Muslim Lady.
Naked Lord Hanuman and Goddess Sita sitting on thigh of Ravana	Muslim poets Faiz, Galib are shown well-clothed
Full Clad Muslim King and naked Hindu Brahmin. The above painting clearly indicates Hussain's tendency to paint any Hindu as naked and thus his hatred.	Naked Bharatmata - Hussain has shown naked woman with names of states written on different parts of her body. He has used Ashok Chakra, Tri-colour in the painting. By doing this he has violated law & hurt National Pride of Indians. Both these things should be of grave concern to every Indian irrespective of his religion.
.

"Art and artists were once patronised by kings and elite classes, the court explained from history. “Art and authority never had a difficult relationship, until recently...Our greatest problem today is fundamentalism, the triumph of the letter over the spirit.”

In an expression of approval to the quashing of the arrest warrants against the painter, Additional Solicitor General Gopal Subramanium assured the court that he would write to the Law Commission suggesting measures to protect artists.

Shamshad Hussain, son of M F Hussain and also a painter, said he was “happy” with the verdict, but voiced apprehensions about the other cases peniding against his father. Eight criminal cases had been filed against Hussain in places, including Delhi, Indore, Rajkot and Hardwar. All these were transferred to the Patiala trial courts here on the Supreme Court’s directions in September 2007. Hussain’s counsel, Akhil Sibal, called the judgment “historic and wonderful”.

-Hon'ble High Court of Delhi

Reacting to the verdict, advocate Poornima Sethi, who represented complainant A S Naruka, said: “Can the fundamental right of speech and expression of one person override the fundamental right of speech and expression of an entire community?...Why has this painter attacked the idols of one particular majority community? If his concern is art, then he should also concern himself with the figures of other communities too?”. She added that her clients would “definitely take proper legal steps” against the High Court verdict"

who is fundamentalist and who is not? Are these utterly atrociaous paintings of MF Husain is not just dubbed as art we Hindus are self inflicting wounds on ourselves under secular fear psychosis! Nothing to blame the minority!
