Topic: M.F.Husain
Why is M.F.Husain absconding?
Shobha De fervently pleads for return of M.F.Husain (Times of India 1st Nov.2009.). Who is stopping him from returning? He has fled to escape the charge of disrespect to the country, Ms. De claims, he made his home for 8 decades! Talking of ‘Tameez’, did he (or now does she while defending him) have any, despite having represented the motherland (Bharatmata) as a nude cheap siren? And she talks of decency! It is plain and simple treason. He will be pardoned for painting the ‘Hindu’ gods and goddesses in nude because it is the “in” thing in this country to insult the majority community to prove our ‘secular’ credentials! But is it a moral issue if people expect an Indian National to respect his country? If he did’nt have any wicked intentions, what stopped him from offering an apology? As rightly observed by her, with Congress in power in the Centre and the State he may even be welcomed back as a Hero! Don’t worry Mrs. De you will not be alone to receive him back, there will be many ‘chamchas’ of the system present at the airport to do so!
