Nude Paintings Of Bharatmata (Mother India)

Feb 07, 2007

 

 

The controversial Painting of "Bharatmata" (Mother India) Removed on Public Requests 

 

Artists MF Hussain appears to be in trouble again as Patiala Court has issued a summon to controversial artist of India M F Hussain and a social worker Nafisa Josef Ali on Wednesday 7th Feb 2007. The Patiala Court had ordered them to appear in the court on 6th March 2007.

 

This controversy raised in 2006 when Hussain's painting "Bharatmata" (Mother India) figuring a nude woman was displayed on an exhibition organized by social worker Nafisa Ali who works for an NGO.  Husain has been in controversies earlier also for portraying Hindu Goddess Durga and Saraswati in nude and in the company of various animals in 1996. His Film Minaxi too faced protests from Muslim Groups in 2004.
