Hussein wouldn't dare sketch a portrait of Allah or Prophet
Mohammed for he well knows the outcome of such indulgence
Ms Carvalho,
Not being a an art critic I cannot discuss artists and
their paintings, most probably styles would have to be
taken into consideration.
As far as Hussain is concerned, he graduated directly
from painting posters(I think it is cinema posters) to
painting horses. I am yet to know
Maqbool Fida Husain's works have always been extreme. His controversial
painting so far only depicts as if he cannot thing any other creative topics
than sex.
Husain has so far depicted: Naked Hanuman and Goddess Sita (This picture
shows a naked Hanuman attacking a naked demon king Ravana while
.The big question posed recently by M.F Hussain's controversial
paintings. Should artists be given liberty to express their creativity
by making drawings and cartoons of Gods and Goddesses ? A freedom of
expression also warrants responsibility towards society. One should not
outrage any community,
Lets forget about his paintings of nude Hindu gods and godesses..as someone may
still see it as an modern or some other art or may be MF taking undue advantage
of Hindu tolrance.
But he went to the extent painting his own mother India nude? He was so
obsessed in nudity, vulgarity that he didn't
be aware of all that. Naguesh [EMAIL

I cannot forget what this man did. How can we forget when someone as HIGH (

most of the posters on this forum who purport him to be amost god-like himself

Thanbk you Sachin, that is my point exactly. How, when why the original

I once saw a painting of a Hindu Goddess painted by

on Hanuman's tail. I am a Catholic but was utterly

To my comment: As far as many temples with nude carvings, the statement
would give an impression that there is a very significant numbers of such

I have made my protest clear on the comments page. This has been going on
for some time now, but for NDTV to promote MF Hasain is an insult to all
Hindu-practicising peoples also those of other religions. To debase
