I think Mr Hussain is a great painter. He is extremely gifted, creative and talented. As for his choice of subject I wonder if this would be such a big issue were he not a Muslim? I can understand, to some extent, the concerns of people like Mr Bal Ram Singh but I think such thinking is misguided and out of place in a society that prides itself for religious tolerance and co-existense. Hinduism has historically dealt with sexuality much more openly than other religions and has given the world such fine pieces of work like the Kamastura and the temples of Khajuraho. MF Hussain is not the first person to take advantage of this aspect of Hinduism and I would disagree that he should be singled out solely because of his religion (which seems to be the case here)
