Regardless of what Hinduism or Islam, allows or doesn't allow, what is happening with M.F.Hussain is unacceptable. Freedom of expression is at stake here. Creativity can't be measured by the narrowness of religion.
I fully agree with you. We talk about secularism and freedom of expression, but in this case what we are doing is exactly opposite. That is shameful.
But we have to also keep it in mind that our post-colonial society is just 62 years old and we cannot expect everything to become perfect in haste. Many of us still have the colonial scars. Every society takes time to mature and education plays a very important role. I am not losing hope on our society and when I talk to people of my generation I see a future which is much less conservative and much more flexible to accept these things.
Anyway, this thread had the potential for some intelligent thought provoking debate, but OP had other ideas. And she is getting what she wanted. That's sad.
Yes the thread title says it all about the motive behind the thread---"Indian muslims----discrimination---"
