[edit] India & Apologies

The movies he made recently are a small aspect of his life... they should probably not be in the introductory paragraph. --Hemanshu 09:54, 15 Dec 2004 (UTC)

You are right. I have shifted them to the bottom of the article. utcursch 10:40, Dec 15, 2004 (UTC)

[edit] Arrest for nude painting

M.F. Husain recently had some issues in India having to do with a painting in which he represented the country as a nude goddess. I'm not familiar, but does anyone have objections to developing this section? I'll do so when I can, if not. If so, we can discuss. Zenosparadox 22:01, 9 February 2006 (UTC)

I've taken the liberty of moving your comment to a new heading. I haven't been involved in editing this article, it's just on my watchlist because I tracked a vandal back to it one time. Someone has already added a link to a report of his arrest. Just go ahead and add what you think is pertinent about this inciden to the article. It doesn't look like this article gets a lot of regular attention. -- Dalbury^(Talk) 22:37, 9 February 2006 (UTC)

Indeed, I noticed it, I'm fine with the link. Thanks for the feedback though! Zenosparadox 18:34, 10 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Bharat Ratna for MH Husain !!!

Artistic freedom cannot be an argument to trample upon sensitivities of large group of people. He should take lesson from Cartoon controversy. My POV: Can he dare create even a decent and glorifying image of founder of his religion, and people (typically elitist people) are canvassing for awarding him Bharat Ratna award. Totally strange and ridiculous idea. Vjdchauhan 09:37, 23 December 2006 (UTC).

[edit] Controversy Section

The controversy section is very short and need to have more details. During research I came across a good webpage provideing many details on this issue. I think it is good idea to add it as external link. If anybody has time, please try to go through the page and add infomation about recent exhibitions and protests about this issue. Currently I am adding it just as external link. Will try to add more specific deatails over the time. Hindu Shastri 14:58, 5 March 2007 (UTC)
