Protest against M.F. Husain's abuse of Hindu Deities

 

A Petition

We call upon all to:

  • Socially ostracise M. F. Husain,
  • Boycott his painting exhibitions,
  • Not purchase or hang his works, and
  • Get all his paintings removed from their offices and galleries where they are on display.

In the course of the campaign, Hindus worldwide have demanded the following from the Government of India :

  1. That the government confiscate the fortune amassed by M. F. Husain through the sale of denigrating paintings of Hindu deities.
  2. M. F. Husain be promptly arrested and severely punished for the crime of drawing pictures of Hindu Deities in a manner that has hurt the religious sentiments of Hindus.  
  3. The Government, which has shown sensitivity to the religious sentiments of Muslims by promptly banning the books written by Salman Rushdie and Tasleema Nasreen, similarly ban M. F. Husain's paintings and his book ‘Husain' containing many of these paintings. Also, stocking or exhibiting these paintings be declared a crime. Accordingly, the Government collect all copies of these paintings and destroy them.
  4. Legal action be taken against the publishers and websites that have published M. F. Husain's paintings.
  5. M. F. Husain be stripped of decorations such as the ‘Padmashree', ‘Padmabhushan' and ‘Padmavibhushan'accorded by the Government.
  6. The privileges that M. F. Husain is enjoying due to his former membership of the RajyaSabha (a part of the Indian Parliament) be taken away.
  7. The (respectful) mention of M. F. Husain in public (Government) school textbooks be omitted.
  8. There be a legal ban on all newspapers, TV channels and other media that show such blasphemous artists (like M. F. Husain) in a positive light.
  9. Such blasphemous artists be ostracized.
  10. There be a legal ban on exhibition, sale, or purchase of art that is contrary to the Scriptures (Spiritual Science) or denigrating of Deities / Holy symbols.
  11. There be a legal ban on using Deities or Holy symbols for commercial, artistic or recreational purposes.

The ultimate aim of man is to achieve supreme and everlasting happiness (Bliss). He achieves this through observing Righteousness both for the sake of his individual progress and that of society, of which he is a part and parcel.

That is why the Sanatan Sanstha's key mission is the establishment of Righteousness in society. By his act M F Husain has violated the very fabric of Righteousness in our society and made us poorer for it.
