MF Hussain Painting Fetches $1.6 mn (Discussions)

MF_Hussein

In a recent auction, MF Hussain’s art work, titled “Ganga-Yamuna”, was sold by auction house Christie’s for a whopping $1.6 Mil. It was painted in 1971. Outside the venue, a group that lobbies for Indian Americans held a protest, demanding the auction be scrapped.

A painting by one of India’s best-known artists, M.F. Hussain, has sold for a record $1.6m at an auction in the American city of New York

Hussain has incurred the wrath of hardline Hindu groups in India for painting Indian goddesses in the nude. In 2006, he publicly apologized for a painting in which he depicted India as a nude goddess. Hindu nationalist groups accuse Hussain - a Muslim - of hurting their religious sentiments by painting Hindu gods and goddesses in a ”derogatory and vulgar” form.

    why cant he put his mother in naked picture or sex pose

    This is what happens when we let hypocritic people like hussain to do what ever they have been doing.He clearly stated that he paints people in nude to express his hatred towards them and it is blatant that he holds the same feeling towards Hindu religion as a whole, as is depicted in his pictures.

    Let me get the readers attention to a particular topic which has been creating a lot of fuss of late.Just because Taslima Nasreen uttered something about Islam she was kicked out of the country and beaten in the public.

    Now what should we do to MF Hussain. My point here is NOT to blame muslims but MF hussian as an individual.Psychopaths like these are the ones who disturb the secular fabric of India.I request every Indian to raise their voice against this blasphemous act and ensure that this attrocious acts will not be repeated.

    Finally, ‘ Art is art, but everything has certain limits’ and Hussain has definitely crossed it and he should be punished for it.

    I hate his paintings……stupid paintings….I donno who buy all these stupid things…………..This stupid shud be hanged in public…..that will not happen in India..bcoz…Hindu politicians made Hindus as minorities…..In future there will be threat for Hinduism…..please unite frnds…..don’t encourage these kind of things……….

    Bye reading my above comment others will definetly think that I am an extremist…or I belong to safran party…..thats is the main problem with broadminded Hindus…..if anybody think like that please suggest me how else I can react towards this stupid…..

  4. 4 hussain Mar 23rd, 2008 at 5:17 pm

    Iam Hussain great fan. But dont know that he had this mark on his painting. He is indirectly getting good fame to india with his painting.

    but one thing i can say i love inida and hindus along with my islamics. Both are like two brothers to motion India. If one is with clothes and other without in the same family means, the family members are so great that
    they are sacrificing their great lives to the one with clothes. And hence the once who are with clothes must
    always protect his family(India) and give a respect to
    them and should sacrifice in return.

    Mera Bharat mahan hai..
    mera india mahan hai…
    mera hindus mahan hai..
    mera musalmans mahan hai…

    lets love each other and be in unity brothers…

    thanks…

    Hussain.

    Guys/gals

    Don’t blame me [i totally oppose those pictures]… but I saw this on one of the forums. Someone posted this…

    “For eveyone who vehemently supported Danish cartoons and salman rusdie in the name of free speech and expresion - in the same context I would support MF Hussain for bringing such fame through “nudity” [not vulgar] in the art. He is the greatest artist and every indian must be proud of it. As someone rightly said the painting are the process of showing gratitude towards the goddess”.

    No one is being forced to see his paintings. If you are offended
    dont pay attention and ignore him and his art. Trying to destroy
    his work and hounding him out of the country is crude, barbaric
    and uncivilized. (also cowardly, he is an old man who is unable to
    defend himself). Personally, I dont understand or particularly care
    about his art, but recognize that it is his right to paint whatever
    he wishes.

    KIll HUSSAIN…
    SOB…
    imagine if we degrade islam like this..all the muslim world will unite and destroy india and hindus the next minute.This is no joke.This is reality.Muslims are the most ruthless intolerant people i have ever seen.I dont know what is great about that religion and its followers.all religions are equal.This point never reaches these moslems.

  12. 12 anonymous Mar 23rd, 2008 at 8:21 pm

    Hussian is hypocrite, he openly stated that when he hates sth/sb he paints them/it nude and i am fine with that too. He just says that its art and then with the same judgment why not he paint prophets daughter in the nude rather than with clothes rather his prophet in the nude and also all his keeps.

    This moron needs to be hunted down and killed not because he painted in nude just because he is hypocrite.

    Guys …
    Just ignore and throw his art in dust bin. They started destroying India in many ways, this is one of it . Islam never said to do all this kind of barbaric acts. He is just an idiot like any other fundamentalist. He poisoning the minds of Indian people in the name of art .

    in-se-allah.

    Is the Art for Auction..? What is the House price
    a penny ???

  17. 17 ram Mar 23rd, 2008 at 10:16 pm

    I think its time, he shud draw his own potrayal in nude. Lets see if he can treat that as art.

    Danish Paintings just as cartoon created so much rage, and I believe every Hindu should undermine his value & pictures, and he has no right to insult other’s God, just like he feel offended to paint his Mohammed naked.

    Its pathetic, being a good painter, his Mohammed only gave him a peni* brain.

  18. 18 ram Mar 23rd, 2008 at 10:18 pm

    Being a minority, he is just taking advantage of being Muslim. In a country like India, minorities can do whatever they want, but if they are hurt, they can bring the country to stall…Thats the greatness of India. But like someone said, India is great, Indians are not. Lets change this perspective, by trashing this senseless Indian (Hussain) and rip off the Indian citizenship from him.

  19. 19 ram Mar 23rd, 2008 at 10:33 pm

    People, go visit the latest wikipedia, I have done my part to it. Checkout the first two lines of my description about him :) He doesnt deserve to be great anymore, nor Indian.

  20. 20 ram Mar 23rd, 2008 at 10:41 pm

    We have no right to hurt other religion people & their feelings.

    So can somebody here, paint him naked, if u can, and I can make it the greatest paint of the World. Can you help me spread this “Naked Evil MFH” painting on the internet.

    Let him comeout to apologize for his own doings.

  21. 21 Reddy Mar 23rd, 2008 at 10:43 pm

    The Problem is muslims take their religion seriously and if something is done to degrade it they unite,fight and make it a very serious issue. But we hindus(i mean majority) just don’t take seriously..the feeling of our religion as our identity is not so great as muslims feel.We get hurt seeing these things..feel that something should be done but most people doesn’t like to take that step.Unless every hindu get this feeling into their blood and react accordingly these things continue to happen. VHP and such outfits which fight against these things look foolish to many people. They are short of funds.I think these kind of groups should be encouraged provided they work honestly for flourishing greatness of hindus treating muslims as our brothers not as enemies..if some individual hurts us he should be punished in the right way to prevent such things from happening and not by blaming whole muslim community. Muslims are a part of our country and hating them will by no means do good to our country..

  22. 22 AP-360 Mar 23rd, 2008 at 10:50 pm

    Hussian has lost his mind and does deserve a punishment for what he has done.

    Guyz many a times we see reports that an image of indian deity is used on commodes/underwears/slippers etc and all the time the indian govt has strongly objected those and had made their displeasure known to the respective govt of the west or the companies in the west and saw that those things are closed.
    But, if the govt cannot ban such things which can cause communal violnce or outrage in/On Indian soil itself wat stand will India have to prevent it from getting worst with the west.
    Its better that these insane arts of Mr. Hussian are taken up and destroyed by the Indian govt.

  23. 23 Anam Mar 23rd, 2008 at 11:23 pm

    F*** this idiot who does not have respect for other religion… how great or artistic may be he is…. don’t spare these kind’s of sob’s. he has to be punished…..

  24. 24 krsna Mar 23rd, 2008 at 11:23 pm

    As I said before, you don’t have to see or buy his paintings. As far as I can see, he has not hurt or injured anyone (except their feelings which if they are adults, they should get over). He is only exercising his rights as an individual and a citizen. And let people decide for themselves whether his art is worth anything. You (by this I mean people who have physically attacked him, and those who are advocating violence against him) have no right to make this decision for other people. As far as his being a minority goes, it is because he is not hindu that he is facing such attacks. His being muslim has done him no favors or protected him. In any case, which religion he belongs to is irrelevant, either you find his subject of art offensive or you don’t. Finally, I wonder why there is such a strong reaction? Do the paintings hurt or kill anyone? Do they cause the loss of anyone’s job, or spread disease? What is the problem in just ignoring them if you think they are offensive, like the way one does ignore a lot of unpleasant things in the surroundings.

  25. 25 Kadhambari Mar 23rd, 2008 at 11:54 pm

    I agree with you krsna

    If people don’t like it let them not see it

    personally as a strong hindu, i don’t take offence in his paintings.

    As hindus we ourselves allowed nudity and celebration of sex in temples such as khajuraho

    If people say his paintings should be banned y not even break down the nude sculptures of khajuraho and the like which span across many places in india

    I think people here have a very wrong and biased notion about their own religion

    first get to know hinduism and its nuances before criticizing or appreciating its depiction in the arts.

  26. 26 AP-360 Mar 24th, 2008 at 12:45 am

    Dear Krsna,Kadambari,

    What you have said is right to some extent. But while you think that you have know better values of hinduism than others here i would like to point out to look at some things.

    First look at the times and scenario’s when the temples of kahjuraho or etc have been built, in those days there was no religion called Islam and their Only god and thats Allah kinda propaganda or mind set of people. People following hinduism have always welcomed other religions and they have aloowed them to get and be part of it.

    Second- People have built temples like khajuraho as a form to propogate the art and knowledge they have acquired to the comming generations and with utmost adorence,respect, bhakthi to wards the deities which they worshiped. And not becaue they hated them that they dipected them in Nude. Ask MF Hussian if he can Bow down before the Painting of Durga which he painted in Nude and to accept that she is the Godess and protector of him and considers as her Own Mother Durga. Propable you will have the answer by now.

    And Dear Krsna, If you choose to ignore you can ignore everything, your Pride, your Heritage, Your History, Your culture, Your self respect and some day some one will spit on something u like( most likely Your face or may be an Indian flag ) and you will have to ignore it for no reason considering its just a piece of cloth. have some self respect man.
    There are somethings to ignore when applied in the right time like ” Ignore your Enemies”. This applies to initial situations only but not when they are causing harm to you or your family. Understand the Difference.
    Comments are most welcomed…

  27. 27 in Mar 24th, 2008 at 1:01 am

    well said AP-360, if we ignore our own identity then what is the whole point of calling ourselves Hindus.This ignoring attitude is what makes Indians not so respectable in International society.Westners don’t give a damn about Indians because they know they can get away by doing what ever they want and we will IGNORE it.

    Krsna/Kadhambari, I donno if you’ve looked at the juxtaposition of pictures by hussain.He cleary is a hypocrite.And also he openly stated that he paints the persons he hates in nude.Being in a secular country one has to be sensitive and tolerant to other religions.

    And till date he hasn’t even issued an official apology in writing.

  28. 28 AP-360 Mar 24th, 2008 at 1:14 am

    Yeah, and one more thing..

    “There is a Difference between Being Offencive and Being Defencive” and being defencive does not mean you choose to Ignore.
    and There is also a difference between Ignorence and Innocence.
    I dont think that your are Innocent that leaves you an Ignorant, Ignorant of the Differences (i quoted above). I could have choose to Ignore your statements in the post but rather i think i choose to defend wat i said earlier.. :-)

  29. 29 krsna Mar 24th, 2008 at 1:50 am

    AP-360
    I am a little curious. How have MF Hussein’s paintings hurt you and your family? As it is not many get to see them, and they are paintings-sort of lifeless objects.
    Clearly you perceive him and his art to be a threat to your way of life. I don’t understand why? I respect and understand your concern for our culture and heritage. However, in every culture, even one as great and ancient as ours, there are elements that will be very objectionable and unacceptable to someone or the other. If we have to destroy every such thing, we will not have much of our culture left.

    Secondly, I did not say that I had better values about hinduism than others here, as a matter of fact I said nothing whatsoever about my values. Infact, this was my exact point, that by judging that his paintings should not been seen by anyone, and by asking to prevent him from painting or doing any such thing ever again, you are making a judgement for everyone else, including myself. I think you should allow others to decide for themselves whether he and his work are worth paying attention to. We are a sufficiently sophisticated and culturally deep society that people are able to make this judgement for themselves. I think we should be sufficiently confident about our cultural heritage that rather than get angry at such things, we should laugh and ignore them.

    I have looked at his paintings (even some original works that he has painted earlier). I don’t particularly understand or care for them, and definitely do not like his recent work. However, I don’t think that anyone will be better off by destroying them or even preventing him from painting whatever he likes. I also have sufficient self respect to know that ignoring a painting I find unpleasant is better both morally and practically, than physically abusing or threatening an old man.

    I also do not think that ignoring him or his work is being defensive. I think it is a civilized and sensible way of dealing with him and his work. There are several reasons for this:
    1. By attacking him and threatening violence, one only increases awareness about him outside, and makes him a political martyr.
    2. It reinforces foreign stereotypes about us Indians, that we are violent people who threaten and physically harm old people we don’t like.
    3. It is simply the wrong thing to do. It is wrong to physically threaten and abuse a defenseless person, especially an old person. It is against our culture and our values, especially the best of them that you agree are worth defending. Forcibly preventing him from exercising what is his right to paint is degrading to our values and our culture.

    At the end of the day, he is an artist and an old man. All artists, especially the good ones are a little crazy and almost always end up saying or displaying unpleasant and socially (at the time) unacceptable things, and he is no exception. Besides, such people are fundamentally harmless (as in they do not commit violence or harm others directly). Maybe their ideas are dangerous sometimes, but the right way to combat ideas is not through violence, but by counterargument, and by dismissal.

    Kadhambari,
    Thanks for your support and agreeing with me.

  30. 30 AP-360 Mar 24th, 2008 at 2:53 am

    Dear Krsna,

    This is wat i exactly wanted you to do/comeup with. You have put to defend yourself from what i have said, because it was directed to u/ ur opinion. This is exactly the samething wat i was asking everyone to do rather than to just Ignore.

    and as a matter of fact the points you have listed doest not hold any relevance from wat i have said. I go to it point by point.
    1) your first Reason(refer to the above post): I have not said to attack him. i have asked the govt to take actions and MF hussain is alreay a very well known figure to the world. Which should add even more responsibility for that person when he expresses his ideas.
    2) India has always been stereotyped to be a chicken in the western world. That means no country in the world thinks we are voilent people not even PAK/bangladesh.
    3)As i said i have not asked him to be attacked. We are not saying that we should not make him abondon his painting. Wat we are saying is He should be more responsible in wat he paints and just should not paint wat ever he wishes/likes.

    And i like your Spirit of gathering support…

  31. 31 Indian Mar 24th, 2008 at 8:19 am

    Neither muslims nor hindus do own the country.. If Hussain as an artist does that and it is a disgraceful act on his part not muslims. He is just an individual who paints some art which in the world has greater worth than in India. He is no more in our country… why do we have to even think about him.. This is all the media which creates all the misunderstandings.. some stupid guy selected some paintings of him (not all) and showed the differences… how can it be correct. even we take our comments and edit them we get to see lot of things which we never mean to say. That thing should not be forgotten. Some stupid took some of his paintings and started publicize. First we have to ban guys who bring this people creating wrong thoughts and do remember one thing before talking and differenciating hindus and muslims. who told us to do that. Did Shree Rama, Vishnu Bhagawan Or Lord Shiva or Allah told that we both are different and did they say that we should not stay together ? We are just human and we stay in one country and we have our own beliefs. Everyone is right in their own belief and no land belongs to a particular religion or caste. It is ours. None is Strong than other. Everyone has a family and everyone is important in the family same as every country has different sects of people and everyone is important for it to survive. Dont do this to yourself. That pervert who brought out this pictures out in such a meaning that damages our relations should expelled..

  32. 32 SupporterOfmankind Mar 24th, 2008 at 11:09 am

    This is only for M F Hussain(M*o*t*h*e*r F*u*c*k*e*r Hussain) MF suits him well. Dont take it personal.

    If he paints something that hurts people and still he is being supported…..Y shouldnt I …

    (I am not against moslems nor their beliefs nor I am supporting hindus, everyone wil have their own beliefs,no one has right to denigrate others beliefs, ofcourse u have right to religion and right to speech, but not the right to speech about ones religion either thru words or painting whichever it is in an offensive way)

    F u c k e r Hussain……Try drawing allah….naked..and his ..p*u*s*s*y…show his private parts to the rest of world….As far I know

    If hussian can express his views thru paintings..y cant i express it with my words,the result would be the same - more controversies….

  33. 33 SupporterOfmankind Mar 24th, 2008 at 12:29 pm

    If u are man …Draw jesus n allah n buddha ….naked.
    Guess wat!!! U wil be replaced by Laden on the hit list….Never do that again…Past is past atleast try to say sorry to the public and destroy ur paintings…never repeat it.

  34. 34 indianatheart Mar 24th, 2008 at 1:01 pm

    well said Supporterofmankind….

  35. 35 SupporterOfmankind/OneDayCM Mar 24th, 2008 at 1:22 pm

    Hey AP-360…u put people at stalemate buddy gud one to ksna n kadambhari.

    Ofcourse their postings say that they are more human towards others..if that is the case ask them to show it in every aspect..dont eat veg/nonveg…drink water..eat air..get vitamins thru sunlight…if at all if u stil want to be super human..pray to hussians painting instead of real god and godesses…do poojas to his pictures becoz they are depictions of god right…n live..for ever on this earth.but stil,ksna and k’bari think of consequences.

    I agree with AP-360, regarding k’raho temples…they are source of knowledge to our next generations..not sources of nudity.

  36. 36 krsna Mar 24th, 2008 at 1:23 pm

    AP-360,
    On what basis should the govt act? He has not broken any laws. Also, I don’t see why *anyone* has the right to decide for him what he should or should not paint. The
    govt did act in a related case, where the individual did not have legal protections because she was not a citizen, and it was really shameful. When Taslima Nasreen wanted shelter in India, she was driven out of the country by the govt itself. I was ashamed of that as well. The reason I bring this up is if you can justify driving M. F. Hussein out of the country, the same thing can be done to people like Ms. Nasreen, and at the end of it all, there will be no real open debate or opinions about anything important.

  37. 37 Indian Mar 24th, 2008 at 3:37 pm

    Mr. Supporterofmankind,

    Say whatever you want to say, abuse as much as you can I too will join but, do that to only the one who is pervert.
    Why do you have to bring Allah Jesus or Buddha into the picture. U have the right to abuse Hussain coz he is da one who painted.

  38. 38 AP-360 Mar 24th, 2008 at 3:40 pm

    Dear Krsna,

    To answer ur question on wat basis? i would say the answer is pretty simple..

    India/Indian govt, does not allow any potrail of allah/prop. Mohammed in an obsene or objectionable form, from its soil and neither does it support it bening done from any where else. The Same should apply to Hindhu Dieties as well.

    A person has the right to think of anything in anyway he wants, no one can stop it and no one has objection for it. But if he puts his ideas in front of the people for auction then comes the reason for objection. If hussain had kept his creative, critisized art for himself and had not told anyone about it then there is no case of all this hatred or criticism.
    Taslima never said that she hated Islam that she wrote those books, her stand was that people(male’s) have interpreted it for their convinence over the period of time and have caused much oppression against Women in Islam. For which people have tried to kill her and india has given protection.
    India will/should protect MF Hussian too, if someone tries to kill/harm him or if someone releases a fatwah for his head.

    Remember that Taslimas contoversial works have been banned in INDIA as well, apart from many other countries. Taslima was so called pressurized to leave India not beacuse hindu’s were against her but beacause of the threat to her life from Fundamental islamists in India and the minority vote bank politics of the Cong. Govt.

    Comments are welcomed..

  39. 39 Raj Mar 24th, 2008 at 3:47 pm

    MF Hussain is like a dog. And Religion is an elephant no matter what ever the religion is. Dog is barking against Elephant beacause Dog(MF Hussain) will never realize the meaning of Elephant(Religion) even in next million years. So guys take it easy.

  40. 40 TrueIndian Mar 24th, 2008 at 3:49 pm

    Allah does not have a picture nor can he be drawn. U cant even say that Allah is he/she coz he even cant be given a gender. He is just a power not a person who can be picturised. The pervert is MF not the whole muslim community. I being a muslim can proudly say that i am a muslim but have visited more temples than mosques and have only hindu friends my entire life and not at all ashamed of anything i have done. I respect ur culture and do have respect for my culture too. It is not our problem. Its someone else stupid mind which made him draw that. I dont find any need for u to use bad words against Allah/Jesus/Buddha. I too am in anguish because he drew such painting regarding devi devtas which are supposed to be devoted and someone more than that bought it for such a big amt. Lets keep him away from our country.Our country doesnt have place for such people. Dont ever try to bring the whole community for one mans deed.

  41. 41 Raj Mar 24th, 2008 at 4:17 pm

    Mr Krisna, why are scared of coming with your genuine name and disguising as if you are a Hindu. We can smell the dogs you know.

  42. 42 shaik Mar 24th, 2008 at 4:34 pm

    Come on, I have scene lot of nude goddess on the walls of temples. Why are you people are so offended? Is it because painter is a Muslim? I am sure people are not able to digest his fame. That is the reason or by responding in this manner you people are giving him more fame for his paintings.

    Does any one asked what does he want to indicate in those paintings. No one bothers, It is simply because he is a muslim he is not suppose to draw any form of hindu goddess. Grow up guys.

    Why nakedness indicates the vulgarity? Is that is the case why don’t you stop going to temples which have nude paintings.

    Simply Ravi Varma pictured goddess in full clothes doesn’t mean every one should follow the same way.

    Any way I personally feel if all Hindus are feeling it to be offensive, he should stop painting like that. Simply because indians are more emotional than rational.

  43. 43 Raj Mar 24th, 2008 at 4:45 pm

    Mr Shaik or what ever your name is, before you ask any body to have deep look into his paintings I think MF Hussain is his name or whatever, you should fully understand the purpose of GREATEST art of male and females (they are not at all an indication of any god/godess, please be aware this) in different postures in nude, let me take this opportunity to explain you mr Shaik or whatever. When you enter into a temple it is a test for you that how far you can be emotionally balanced???? The less you are effected the more you are divine. If it is going above your head, give me a sout to explain u again.

  44. 44 XYZ Mar 24th, 2008 at 4:59 pm

    hi Krsna,

    Ganaga, Yamuna are not only goddess but they are like mothers. People who lost their moms treat Ganga as their mom to feel wrath of mother’s love. Now how can you ever ignore if your mom is painted nude and set for public auction. And how can anyone appreciate even in the name of art? Even if you want to support Hussain please gohead but dont tell ignore its even more worst than supporting his paintings.

    Also Krsna,
    Here we are asked to leave our views not suggestions.

  46. 46 ajay Mar 24th, 2008 at 5:21 pm

    I am happy to see all you guys sharing your views on this debate.I see there are a few people who have been advocating to ignore the paintings of MF Hussain.

    I was wondering if these staunch supporters of IGNORING have the same attitude in them.If yes they should have ignored this debate in the first place.Why haven’t they ignored this debate?I guess the answer to this question will answer all their questions.

  47. 47 ajay Mar 24th, 2008 at 5:27 pm

    The crowd also seems to have lost on a few things here.Nobody is suggesting to attack him or physically abuse him.All we want is for him to come up with a written apology to the Indians for denigrating our secular fabric.
    And we are not against his painting as a whole.We only want him to stop hurting the religious sentiments of people.
    This IGNORING has what made our great country to be ruled for 200 years and continues to be looked down at.Westners feel that we never stand up for anything or worse that we don’t have conviction in ourselve or our beliefs.I hope I am making some sense here.Let me know what you guys feel.

  48. 48 Vett Mar 24th, 2008 at 6:00 pm

    Ass hole Hussain..
    This perverted biased inhuman cultureless country ass is hiding somewhere in middle east.
    May some isreali rockets/bombs hit his dirty mind and let his great art be freed.

  49. 49 hindustani.jai hind... Mar 24th, 2008 at 7:07 pm

    Every hindu please ask M** F*** Husain, to draw the naked pictures of his and his supporters’s sisters’s and mothers’s pictures and then let him explain to all of us that all of his painting are peace or art…

  50. 50 Indian Muslim Mar 24th, 2008 at 7:22 pm

    Islam never allows it by no means…His act of painitng such a nude stuff or even prophet’s(peace be upon him) daughter’s picture undoubtedly anti-islamic…He is an enemy of mankind and must be punished.

    Guyz I am sure we all know He is just trying to be commercialised..so you know how to anticipate with it.

    But for a few of you who abuse Islam….Please think twice before making a comment..Many Moslems are (Incluidng myself) not following the right islamic way of living and may be by doing that brining quostionble name to Islam..But I am still confidently sying Islam Can not be wrong..

    SO judge MFH from an artistic perspective not as muslim..

    LA ILAHA ILLAL LAH MUHAMMADUR RASULULLAH

  51. 51 Neela Mar 24th, 2008 at 7:25 pm

    I just hate his paintings and him

  52. 52 Rama Mar 24th, 2008 at 8:19 pm

    I hav seen some posts supporting this M** F***
    If you are so supportive….ask pervert to draw your n your sis pictures in nude….he will sell those for millions…..
    why don’t u understand guys…….why does he do this to Hindu gods….let him do it to muslims gods….let him Be a reBel like a ‘Taslima’….if he does that to Muslim…they will kill him in the next minute…..he is taking advantage of being minority…

  53. 53 K Mar 24th, 2008 at 8:19 pm

    The fact the MFH’s painting sold for $1.6 mn indicates that some people like his art, period! And we can discuss million things about it and end-up nowhere.

    It is important to realize that art is very subjective field and as some people already mentioned above, if you don’t like it just don’t bother about it. If one is worried about its derogatory nature to a particular religion, then one should know that religion is much strong/mature than that.

    peace

  54. 54 Indian Mar 24th, 2008 at 8:52 pm

    He will be punished for what he has done.

    Be in peace.
    Om Shanti.

  55. 55 MRX Mar 24th, 2008 at 8:53 pm

    Ignore such people.

  56. 56 krsna Mar 24th, 2008 at 9:17 pm

    Raj,
    Krishna is my name, feel free to think otherwise. It is probably easier for you to do so.

    Guys,
    Again, I ask. What is it about him that you are so afraid of, that you insult him so and want to force him
    to apologize?
    I know Taslima Nasreen’s books were banned in India, but I think that this is wrong and cowardly of the govt. I also think that the govt does not really have the legal authority to ban books as it pleases.

    Rama,
    So you want us hindus to be more like the muslims who kill anyone who they think is insulting them? At the end of it all, this is essentially the question that needs to be answered.

  57. 57 AP-360 Mar 24th, 2008 at 10:30 pm

    Krsna,

    Its not that we feel insecure or afraid n for the matter and we dnt wanna insult him, all we should look for is not be insulted or degraded.

    If you are speaking out of consciousness then you sholud have known the consequences if the books of taslima were not banned. Boy! i cant imagine what the Fundamental islamists would have done to her and to many in their goal to see that these things wont repeat.

    So, I believe that the Govt has done the right thing in banning those objectionable books and it should do the same with MF’s paintings.
    This is the best way that all the religions live in Harmony. It is hard that each one makes indecent potrail of the other religion or( may be their own religion) and you expect Harmony ammong people.

    As it is always said ” Prevention is better than Cure”.

  58. 58 AP-360 Mar 24th, 2008 at 10:41 pm

    Although i personally feel that Taslimas books should not have been banned, but i did not choose to oppose the govt decision to ban them at that time as they have tkaen it for the better interest of the people.

  59. 59 SupporterOfmankind Mar 25th, 2008 at 12:22 am

    Hey Indian,

    This is only for u because u responded for the post of mine.

    I brought Buddah,allah and jesus into the topic not as a discussion, my previous post is pointed towards that pervert(dont want to say his name) not u or any moslem or hindu or bhuddist.

    I have atmost respect foreveryone.

    I jus wanna say to him draw other religously holy gods not to offend them. Y is he not drawing jesus or bhudda…if he does he knows he is at risk, america or china wil surely hook him to a nuke and will jus do a test fire. But our indian govt i dont know y they are sitting idle…hence the reason pointed out that in that perspective not to offend any one.

  60. 60 SupporterOfmankind Mar 25th, 2008 at 12:33 am

    To trueindian,

    I didnt say any bad words againt budda or jesus or allah. I DID SAY not to take it personal, that is pointed toward MF.

    hey dude if i want to offend allah,buddha or jesus I could have done that long back or I could even do in my nxt post, u cannt stop me from doing that. But that is not wat I hav learned from this land, I DO HAVE atmost respect buddy. Dont take it wrong

  61. 61 SupporterOfmankind Mar 25th, 2008 at 12:41 am

    Mr K I respect ur opinion, this kind of gudness doesnt work in india, they misuse the freedom give to them, more perverts like MF wil be born, and his next step wil be making the national flag as bikni to some godess…I think u stil wil ignore it…but I dont….because it sends wrong msgs to people….the ripple effect would be more than wat u see..and things like that should not be entertained….

  62. 62 Indian Mar 25th, 2008 at 10:39 am

    Mr SupporterOfIndia, Good to know that u respect.. I dont know why cant people see MF as an individual. Why do they have to blame the whole muslim community.

    One more thing it isnt true that all the muslims are killers. Most of them live quiet normal lives with families and friends.

    Keep in mind all the posters that MF is a single person.
    Why do u have to bring all muslims into account. I too am angry with his drawings. How can he be so —— after being brought up in a country like ours . Just let our country be in peace.

  63. 63 SupporterOfmankind Mar 25th, 2008 at 11:45 am

    By the way my net name is SupporterOfMankind…
    not SupporterOfIndia.

    U are unnecessarily thinking toooo much (No offence). Most of the posts here they never said anything to muslims or hindus or bhuddists.

    U are assuming that if we talk against MFH we are against the entire community.

    Personally I til date never spoke anything bad not even dreamt of anything bad about muslims or any other sect. U are taking it personally.

    Read the posts with heart not with mind. None of our friends is blaming the communities. Think with a cool head.

  64. 64 Siva Mar 25th, 2008 at 1:39 pm

    Guys,

    Just think over this.

    Some Journalist has drawn a Cartoon of Muslim’s Prophet and the whole world has seen the acts of Muslims residing in whole world. Especially in UK the protests were horrible (U can watch them on youtube too).

    Now this so called asshole has drawn nude pictures of Hindu Deities and he has been awarded Padmashri, Padmabhushan and also nominated by our system to Rajyasabha(in the past).

    He should be taken back of all those awards and should be demanded an explanation.

    Take the issue of Taslima Nasreen. Since she wrote something against Islam in her writings they tried to kill him in Hyderabad and issue a ”Fatwa”.

    My ponit is why dont we hindus all unite and protest such acts by a ”Moron”.

  65. 65 With peace Mar 25th, 2008 at 3:28 pm

    This is the problem with hindus. First its not a religion but some pre-historic ritual which they call as religion. Look at them they worship cows and burn their deads and worship rats. They have GODS who look like man but with few arms growing from their ASS. Superman, batman, etc all are GODS I guess by hindu mythology so worship them you HIndus lol.
    Husain is an artist so respect his work and Hindus should award them as they have carved in Ajanta and allora caves their own GODs in different erotic pose.
    HInduism=religion??? think again. Open your mind be anything, christian, Jew, muslim but hindu??? that sucks I feel sorry for you guys lol

  66. 66 Krishna Mar 25th, 2008 at 4:26 pm

    why does not he paint himself having sex with his nude mom or his daughter which is also a symbol of true love as he says.
    This not they way guys could somebody give mailing address so that we can personally write letters to him.
    And what is shiv Sena doing brothers, I think Bal Thackeray only knows to hit and torture innocent Muslims rather than finding out what Hussain is doing?

  67. 67 AP-360 Mar 25th, 2008 at 4:50 pm

    Dear With Peace,

    I dnt know of which of those so Called religions u r from but it has definetly proved that Hinduism/an ave. Hindhu has better Values than you.

    Hindhuism might not be a religoin with one God but surely it has instilled better values to its followers. Hinduism is the oldest religion on earth and its big like an elephant. The religions u mentiond are just infants before hinduism and which have not matured.

    So, ” Dog’s Bark at the Elephant”.

    If Jesus/mohammad/moses/any other prophet from the religions you mentioned were alive they would have been ashamed of you being in their religion. For now we are Happy that you are not one of us.

    May God bring peace upon U and may God bless you with Wisdom.

  68. 68 offend Mar 25th, 2008 at 7:43 pm

    this fellow mfhussain need to be hanged in the temple.
    how did he dare to draw such kind of pics where most of them worship. in of the persons comment they said some person compared the pics why u people feel but i didnot look at those comparisions .this persons should be hanged and all his painting should be buried.

  69. 69 Sujith Mar 25th, 2008 at 7:46 pm

    Hey with peace

    You are as disgusting as M** F*** hussain.

    Be thankful that Hindus are great full enough to let live other religions in India. People miss use this freedom and insult our religion.

    It is because you are from India you are still alive for what you have written. Had you been in Pak or any other country people would hunt you down for speaking bad about others religions.

    MF hussain has insulted our gods and goddess and you have hurt our feelings and sentiment.

    Though a Big Old Ass has insulted our religion you guys are still supporting that SOB.

    About our gods and worship ways it will take you a life time to understand….Anyways we don’t have to explain anything to a person so insensitive and immature like you.

    Who is Alla, where is Alla???? Did he ever take form on earth??? or do you worship a dead body???

    MF hussain and his followers, all of you should be flushed out of India…

    Go live in a country where you can follow your religion….get out from our country..

  70. 70 Freedom Mar 25th, 2008 at 8:51 pm

    I think this M****F****hussain should draw his naked picture fXXXXX a donkey’s ass.

  71. 71 SupporterOfmankind Mar 25th, 2008 at 8:58 pm

    Hey With Peace,

    Donot do the same thing again, wat MFH did, since u are envy of other things or sects or people are saying horrible things….I dont know which religion u belong to….but it surely says u are a coward..

  72. 72 LXXXXX Mar 25th, 2008 at 11:16 pm

    AP-360… Cha gaya baap. You pinned people at right spot.

    I call this kind of painting as perversion.

    MF Pervert Hussain is a spoiled child. People like him should be taught with a nice lesson.

    Saaley ‘Peace’ maadarchod… bahut kujlee ho raha hei gaand mein… saamne aa saale sab theek kar dunga… XXXXXXXXXXX
