This whole argument is very ironic. You were most eloquent about Janajagruti's right to host an exhibition about Kashmiri pundits. Obviously freedom of speech extends only to the majority sentiments, while the minority should be happy to be second class citizens of India, with their freedom of speech being a selective issue. It's reasoning like this, that will be the death of modern, secular India. I advise everyone to visit HJS's website and see how organisations such as these are bent on fracturing India. http://www.hindujagruti.org/news/1984.html To Sonia Gomes: I'm sorry you find MF Hussain's art offensive. A visit to a European or American museum or art institution (anything post Picasso and Weber) and you will find a plethora of objectionable art especially insensitive to Christians. The point is not whether MF Hussain's art is objectionable or not, it is that our intellectuals should be given space to breath and think even if their thought-processes are distasteful to us. selma ____________________________________________________________________________________ Be a better friend, newshound, and know-it-all with Yahoo!
