I may not like Hussain's paintings for any number of reasons, including religious reasons. But nothing gives me the right to thrash him up, or not allow him to function or work in his own country. I would drag him to court if he offended me. Same with Rushdie or the Danish cartoonist--if I didn't agree with them, I would take them to court. But nothing gives me the right to attack these artists outside the court of law. Courts were invented to resolve disputes in a civilized way. That's all I am saying. Implementation of rule of law and equality before law is all I'm asking for. That will save everyone's rights. India's Constitution is secular, and once rule of law is firmly established in India, secularism will come into play too.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12126007565300598871noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8412012.post-87321373842442619102010-03-05T10:21:24.874+08:002010-03-05T10:21:24.874+08:00Listen man, why didnt Husain paint nude Mohamed?

Can an artist draw a pictuer of Mohamed (leave alone nude) in india...<br />So, dont shed tears.. If Husain decides on Quatari coitizenship, it is his choice;;like u chose to eb in Singapore..
