Hypocricy - Unconscious bias

Hello,

In a gathering on Thursday we discussed two topics.

One: MF Hussain getting Government nod about security cover on coming to India and whether he should be excused for his excessively sexual potrayal of Hindu Gods and Goddess.

Second: The growing menace of the Maoist and whether their being asked to come to the negotiation table is correct.

Most of us were liberal, secular, democratic, timid and Pseudo intellectuals who thrive on our ability to accept every attrocity with open arms.

Not surprisingly, a majority said that MF Hussain has done no wrong. Most felt that he was being targetted because he was from the minority (22% of the population and still minority). Few said that what wrong has he done when what he actually did was replicating what has been done in Ajanta & Ellora. Some felt that what he has done is less vulgar than heroines posing semi-nude for gods and goddess in films and calendars.

It was felt that MF Hussain has freedom of expression as an artist and no one has the right to stop him from doing so.

When it was pointed out that the world does not tolerate such expression (eg: the protest of sikhs against Dera chief for dressing as their Guru and the Dane being pulled up for the cartoon on Islam) and that MF Hussain has been selective about his liberties, they claimed that there ought to be difference between a moderate, secular viewpoint and a radical fanatical outlook. For them the protest against the paintings was a radical outburst that needed to be condemned.

We then taked about the Maoist and how they were killing inncoent people and getting away with it. When some expressed anguish at the Governments decision to bend and call them for a dialogue, most of the others protested saying that the maoist had no option and they were taking up arms because they have been exploited, abused, insulted.

Now if you look at the discussion it will be obvious that while on one side the group preaches tolerance and avoidance of any protest on the other side it sympathises with perpetrators of aimless violence.

Selective bias, is it not.

Could anyone sympathize with the maoist if their son was killed. Would you sit without protesting if MF Hussain had painted your mother, your sister, your wife, your daughter naked.

So why do you have such opinions my friend.

All because it is you are not personally affected.

Best regards,

Manoj

Election, your choice

My dear friend,

I’ve not called a spade a shovel. We’ve kept our promise of giving you the choice. How can you make the choice unless we place some truths before you.

You, my friend, should know that the Association has taken a loan of Rs.50 lacs. Meaning thereby, there is not only no funds, there is lien on future membership subscription receipts. In State Bank of Indore, with half the number of officers, their Association is having a fund of Rs.8 crores.

Another matter, where is now the Qualis car the Association had purchased ?

You have been looted my dear friend. There are many more skeletons they are hiding. Change is necessary.
People who have run the Association for 20 years on the basis of community politics, are strangely now speaking of caste. But if you look at the composition, we are a more consciously balanced lot. They would have loved, we had no base.

A friend

Sanjoy

MF HUSSAIN - HYPOCRICY UNVEILED

Hello all,

Find below the masterpieces by our famous painter MF Hussain.

Goddess Durga in sexual union with Tiger

Prophet's Daughter Fatima fully clothed

Goddess Lakshmi naked on Shree Ganesh's head

M.F. Hussain's Mother fully clothed

Naked Saraswati

Mother Teresa fully clothed

Naked Shri Parvati

Hussain's Daughter well clothed

Naked Draupadi.

Well clothed Muslim Lady.

Naked Lord Hanuman and Goddess Sita sitting on thigh of Ravana Muslim poets Faiz, Galib are shown well-clothed

Full Clad Muslim King and naked Hindu Brahmin.

The above painting clearly indicates Hussain's tendency to paint any Hindu as naked and thus his hatred. But the height is the painting of Naked Bharatmata -

Hussain has shown naked woman with names of states written on different parts of her body. He has used Ashok Chakra, Tri-colour in the painting. By doing this he has violated law & hurt National Pride of Indians.

Both these things should be of grave concern to every Indian irrespective of his religion.

He says nudity in art depicts purity and is in fact an honour. But is it not strange that only Hindu gods and Goddesses are singled out for this purity and honour.

Now look at the last picture. There are four leaders in the picture.

Out of the four leaders M. Gandhi is decapitated and Hitler is naked. Hussain hates Hitler and has said in an interview 8 years ago that he has depicted Hitler naked to humiliate him and as he deserves it !

How come Hitler's nudity cause humiliation when in Hussain's own statement nudity in art depicts purity and is in fact an honour !

This shows Hussain's perversion and hypocrisy.

When a person dresses like a Sikh Guru, thousands of Sikhs gather and destroy their establishments , threaten to kill him, announce a bounty on his head.

If a Danish journalist depicts the Prophet of the Muslims , Muslims all over the world rise in anger, there is violence, a booty on the head of the Journalist.

But if MF Hussain draws paintings depicting Hindu Gods and Goddesses in sexual positions (which relations are not borne out by ancient texts at all ) and Hindus merely protest , they are called communal, intolerant and taught lessons in secularism by one and all.

The problem with Hindus is that they accept what ever is dished out, they do not have the guts to say that this is wrong , they seek acceptance from outsiders rather than standing for their religion.

We worship the same Gods and Goddesses but don't stand up for them when the time comes.

Is it a matter of shame when you do not stand for your religion, your faith and your God.
