M.F.Husain's painting on the Mumbai Blasts on Show in London Art Gallery.
I saw the Photo in Hindu.
Green used much. Drops of blood also in Green.
The "Bharat Mata" is raped. She is torn as a Victim and laying Down dishevelled, spreadeagle.
Only her Bindi depicted in Red.
I ask M.F.Husain, with all Respect to his Mastery, Sir for Blood you should have choosen RED color. Not Green.
Why you Choose Green? to show the Islamic Green?
OK. The Barat Mata is Raped. I dont think a few Bomb Blasts here and There cant make her feel like Raped.
You could have called it "Rape of Mumbai"
In choosing the Color Green, you derated the Emotion of the Incident
You dehumanised the Adrenaline of the Attack.
May be you are not that Angry, after all.
May be you are unable to hide your Glee. Forgive me if I am wrong here.
The Islamic Green all over the Pictures makes the Painting less emotional, less pinching.
The Continuous line extending beyond the Borders of the Painting shows the never ending Terrorists Mayhem all across India.
Good. Thats a Valid Point. But again the Line is Green. The drops of Blood Green.
The 2 Horse Faces - again Green Faces - depicts the Moslem Attackers
the Horses came to India mostly from Arabia
You love Horses more - that shows your love for Arabia - where you stay.
OK. Those Rough - Beasts with their Green Faces also indicate the Jealousy they have over India's Growth Story.
The "Payal" of "Bharat Mata" still Intact.
It shows, She is not yet vanquished. She will again Raise, Again Dance, Again Conquer the World with her Mystic Dance, Majesty and Poise.
The Gunshots are shown only one. You are not bothered much about the Modus Operandi.
You are just interested in the "Rape"
and that too "Rape of Bharat Mata" you would like to Enjoy, tongue in cheek, may be.
I am not sure.
If you are Truly Concerned, Please DONATE all the proceedings of this Painting to the Breaved People of Mumbai in this Mayhem.
or DONATE that to the NSG commandos who died saving Mother India.
In my STRONG OPINION, I differ from M.F.Husain's negative portrayal of the Incident.
Bharat Mata is not Raped
India cannot be Raped by Few Bomb Blasts
India cannot be raped by Few Terror acts
India is TOO BIG for that.
Jai Hind!
