The painter who left this country for a foreign shore is being felicitated by the government after his death. M F Hussain, who disowned India was today given respect by none other than Parliament of our country. Why?
Why are we still trying to claim him as one of our own when he so disrespectfully left for foreign shores? The dead artist should not and does not deserve any respect from our country. He had left the country of his own will. And then disowned it by accepting the citizenship of some other country.
The political class is full of shit and needs to understand that we are well off without people who will rather not call themselves Indian though they were given so much adulation during their lifetime. There are fanatics in each and every country. Even Norway, like we saw recently. But is doesn't require us to disown our country. In fact, it requires us to take on such fanatics and make your point of view known.
