yep, there is no question that M.F Hussien is a great and gifted painter and this issue wouldn't be raised as much if he was a Hindu. But I am surprised people didn't see any difference between the naked portrayal of gods and goddesses in his picture versus the shivalingas and naked sculpture in different temples. FYI, only penise of mahadev is worshipped because he's been cursed by the Saptarishis and the naked sculptures are there to protect the temples from thunder. Whereas, Hussien's picture portrays Sita sitting in the lap of Ravana with bare ass. How can a hindu accept his mother goddess (we call her sitamata, remember?) being posed in such manner? And Durga goddess having sex with a Lion? Where does that kind of ideas come from if you have any respect over that religion and the morales of the multi-millenium old stories? So, to me, it is absolutely lack of respect and ignorance. I don't dare say Mr. Hussien trying to gain any cheap popularity of being bold and experimentalist but he has surely shown his unorthodoxy.
