Why Indian Hindu support M F Hussain ?

Few Hindu supports it in Name of Ajanta Elora but where does Sita and Hanuman are shown together in bad pose - where Sita was sitting on Hanuman's lap ?? Their relationship was Mother and Son.

Was M F Hussain spared because he was a Muslim and in India Muslim have liberty to do anything in name of Secularism ??

Answer 1

If Hindus had supported M F Hussain then why he had to leave this country and why his grave is not in India.

No one supported him because no artist has right to hurt feelings of any religion.

M F Hussain had to leave this country because he had a non-bailable warrant against him and he was threatened to death. In February 2006, Husain was charged with "hurting sentiments of people" because of his nude portraits of Hindu gods and goddesses

Answer 2

In the history of western art, there have indeed been nude depictions of Jesus. Michelangelo sculpted one.



Some of these were a bit controversial, as Michelangelo's was, but there wasn't a major dust-up. Nudity in western art was (and still is) regarded as a way celebrating the beauty of the human body, God's creation.



There was never a good reason to depict a Pope nude. Painting or sculpting him in his papal robes was a way of identifying him. There have been somewhat scantily clad depictions of God, but none in which he was depicted entirely nude. Most people would consider a nude God to be in bad taste but not an absolute violation of any religious law or rule.

Answer 3

The Church doesn't have any kind of edict against depicting Jesus or a pope nude, it's just considered scandalous.



Many people don't want to think that Jesus had genitals because they are still suffering under the Puritan idea that sexuality and anything related to it is bad.

Answer 4

Some of the finest works of art depict religious and mythological figures in the nude. Perhaps the most notable example is Michelangelo's David.

To know the reality of Hindus, please read as follows:



Jawahar Lal Nehru(a caste Brahmins) acknowledged in his book about the false theory of Aryan- Dravid divide fabricated by sons of satan. He did not accept Vedas as divine knowledge but described them as mere songs of invading shepherds. Even today, our children in schools are being imparted the false Aryan-Dravida theory. Many Hindus themselves have given rubbish interpretations of verses from Vedas. For example,”As Gayatri Mantra invokes SUN,the God of east, it means Aryan were spreading towards east from west.” Such BADTAMIJ shrewd rubbish Hindus are not condemned by Hindus. In contrast, they enjoy honourable position among Hindus.

Congress Lovers(mostly Hindus) don’t care about the ongoing insult to Vedas by their leaders and party.

Answer 7

Nude hindu goddesses is far sexier than a nude pope.
