M.F. Hussein, a painter of Indian origin, has accepted Qatari citizenship because their are multiple cases filed against him in Indian courts. They were filed by Hindu activists aggrieved by the painting of a naked picture of Goddess Saraswati by Hussein. As usual the freeloading press is distorting the debate by saying that it is all about freedom of expression with vicious abuse aimed at Hindus. We are being painted as ' Hindu Taliban ' thus playing into the hands of all those who think that they will go to heaven by killing Hindu kafirs. Mr. Hussein could have painted any number of naked women but he deliberately chose the Goddess. His aim must have been to provoke and thus get a very high price by selling the painting to the highest bidder. He had put the painting up in an exhibition showing his intentions. If a man bought the painting and used it for sexual fantasies would Mr. Hussein be able to stop him? Thus if the same painting had been executed by a Hindu it would still have been objectionable. We are repeatedly told of how much how much he loves India, his love of all religions and about his knowledge of Hiduism. In that case he could have converted to Hinduism but he chose the citizenship of a Muslim country showing that he is a Muslim fanatic. He could have made it clear that he has no intention of selling the painting and bequeathed it to a Hindu temple so that it would not be defiled after his death. This he chose not to do clearly intending to sell the painting to the highest bidder. The Goddess is above stupid actions by stupid men. His painting cannot insult the Goddess but definitely insults Hindus.
