M F Hussain paints Rape of India

After Naked Bharatmata Hussain Painted 'Rape of India'

MF Husain's painting 'Rape of India' on Mumbai Blasts displayed in London Art Gallery

Nude 'Bharatmata' Painting by MF Hussain

Why should we protest against this painting ?

1. Representing India as a woman being raped, is nothing but terrible denigration. For an Indian, 'Bharat Mata' (Mother India) is a Goddess and not some figurative concept and showcasing her in this manner is highly outrageous and a completely unacceptable form of denigration. 2. It would be appropriate to ask MF Husain if he would have dared to make a similar painting had there been an attack on the UK, the UAE or Qatar and named it the 'Rape of UK, UAE or Qatar' ? (Husain has recently become a citizen of Qatar) 3. What is MF Husain's sick fascination for having sex with animals ? Why does he repeatedly superimpose his dirty minded eroticism on Deities ? 4. Why has he split the canvas in half ? Does he want to suggest that India will spilt ? Why this divisive implication that India will crumble under attack ? 5. Why has he painted the blood that has been spilt in the colour green ? And also the two bulls with green faces. The offenders of the cowardly terrorist attacks that India is facing, are the people who are symbolized by the colour green, and not the other way around. Does he expect the Islamisation of India ? 6. India has been wounded by innumerable terrorist attacks. Instead of expressing her pain, MF Husain has humiliated her and has added insult to her injury by showing her being raped and that too with the perverted suggestion of an animal straddling her and of a man pulling at her blouse and staring at her breast. 7. If MF Husain is truly an artist (as claimed by the artist community) and that all his thoughts about being outraged by terrorism were genuine, then why does he not paint others being nude and having sex with animals ? But as we have observed he depicts only India and Hindus in this manner. 8. Thus, for these reasons this painting is unacceptable to an Indian and it hurts and rapes our sensibilities.

Some questions we need to ask ourselves !

Why do intellectuals and the art world continue to applaud MF Husain's perverted endeavours and still paint him as an 'artist' ? Has the collective mind of our social elite plummeted so deep, that on the one hand it puts men like MF Husain on a pedestal and on the other, summarily rubbishes a call for purity and feelings of national pride ? That we are actually debating this issue and not taking immediate action against MF Husain is the very reason why India has been attacked for centuries and has

instead only been hospitable to our invaders. Do we still want to continue to function in a manner that does not even recognize an assault on our collective consciousness in the form of this obnoxious painting ?

What you can do ?

As this is gross disrespect to Bharatmata everybody should register their protest with the Government and compel the Govt. to book him for this huge offense. 1. Send the protest letter immediately to the Government to book him for hurting our National sentiments and to withdraw all his Padma awards and in addition initiate a court trial of this anti-National individual. 2. Form a group or personally lodge a Police complaint with this news that has been published in newspapers. 3. Force quick action from the State Govt., local MP, MLA and public representatives. 4. Write letters to Art gallerias not to exhibit any of his work. 5. Write to local newspapers and News channels about the incident so as to create awareness. 6. Create awareness through the internet via Emails, forums and Blogs. 7. You may print this page and distribute it amongst your friends, relatives and general public. 8. Boycott all his supporters for example Hotels displaying his paintings along with newspapers and TV channels that support him. Special appeal to Advocates - File court cases against Husain in your local courts and intimate us upon doing so. Special appeal to Journalists - Do not be mute spectators of this despicable imagery of the 'Rape of India'. Special appeal to the artist community and art gallery - Boycott MF Husain from your community and send your protest letter to Government and don't display MF Husain paintings in any exhibition.

Out of the four leaders, M. Gandhi is decapitated and Hitler is naked. Husain hates Hitler and has said in an interview 8 years ago that he

depicted Hitler naked so as to humiliate him as he deserves it ! How come Hitler's nudity caused humiliation when in Husain's own statement nudity in art depicts purity and is in fact an honour ! This shows Husain's hypocrisy and perversion. HinduJagruti.org Conclusion M.F. Husain depicts the Deity or person he hates as being naked. He shows the Prophet's mother, his own mother, his daughter, all the Muslim personalities fully clothed, but in contrast Hindus and Hindu Deities along with Hitler are shown naked. This proves his hatred for Hindus.
