In February 6, 2006 issue, India Today, a national English weekly published an advertisement titled "Art For Mission Kashmir". This advertisement contains a painting of Bharatmata (Mother India) as a nude woman posed across a map of India with the names of Indian States on various parts of her body. The exhibition was organised by Nafisa Ali of Action India (NGO) and Apparao Art Gallery.[18]

Hindu Janjagruti Samiti (HJS) and VHP has protested persistently against Husain displaying the painting on the websites and in an exhibition. As a result, on February 7, 2006 Husain apologised and promised to withdraw the painting from an auction.[19][20]

The painting later appeared on Husain's official website.
