M.F Hussain- Liability or a Asset

Alas!!! Once again, we the Indians have entered into a debate on the reasons of Mr.MF Husain's becoming citizen of some align land.

I feel surprised ,when people defend him in the name of democracy ,freedom of expression but more surprised when people opposes him in the name of religion. What I know is, that freedom of expression does not allow one to hurt the sentiments of millions and on the other hand ,know that the religion is not fragile,which would break into pieces by a art work of Mr.
Hussain. People debating have not actually seen those art work and have only heard of it.. But they are jumping to make opinion in favor or against..... of such art. Frankly I have not been able to lay my hand on these paintings hence know not ,as how to react on them ?????

For me we have larger issues than this.... What is more surprising ,when the intellectual gets into these kind of debates and form their opinion. The attempt is to label themselves as some super saviour of the definite school of thoughts in favour or against ,which would establish them in different league. The logic is
clear-increasing TRPs.... What has been done, 30 years before is not the point of discussion ,but what will happen after 5 years is the larger issue.So Indians, lets move forward....

  1. Very True. These are ways and means to divert the masses from real issues and also to catch the attention. Through these gimmicks people have become celebrities overnight.

  2. Across the world one thing is famous that we Indians are very sentimental + emotional..so our opinion is usually biased and we dont often use practical ways for a problem...Come on INDIANS!! Time to grow up now!!

    So definitely this is true that we have many other big issues waiting for us in queue in our way to become the super power..and time has come where we need to concentrate our time and efforts towards achieving the same instead of wasting our time on petty issues like this..
