MF Husain conferred Qatar nationality!
India's most celebrated artist MF Husain has been offered Qatar nationality, according to a report in The Hindu.
The report said that Husain was “Honoured by Qatar nationality” but deeply saddened by his enforced exile and the need now to give up the citizenship of the land of his birth, which he has lovingly and secularly celebrated in his art covering a period of over seven decades.
Indian government does not allow dual citizenship, therefore, Husain will have to give up his Indian passport if he decides to take up Qatar citizenship.
The report also said that Husain did not apply for Qatar nationality and that it was conferred upon him at the instance of the modernising emirate’s ruling family.
The artist has been living in Dubai since the hate campaign against him started in India in 2006.

The 'hate campaign' was justified ...MF Husain might be a great painter but lacks socio-religious sensitivity and is pathetic at respecting others. He can be compared to the painter who painted a cartoon. He must leave India asap for his own good. Yes, Qatar would be ideal for his retirement.

No Nic...he had painted nude pictures of ...Hindu Gods and Godesses ( Which I have seen too )and it is disgusting to say the least. People like him bring trouble to whichever country they live in by the lack of respect for others. I used to revere him at one point during my school and college years but after he did what he did,I look at him as a dangerous person who belongs behind bars.

Thanks Arien...Being a Great comes with a responsibility ......and he has failed miserably. He should have realised that a major portion of his die hard fans were Hindus and knowing the fact that its highly controversial to insult someone's religion;he should have refrained from it. His going after different bollywood babes was a huge embarassement too.

sorry i dont know who he is and FU he can't get citizenship for timbuktoo because it is a town in the country of Mali
I wonder if he would like a Malian passport?
painther said
NIC, I think you are ...NIC, I think you are unnecessary poking your nose here in Indian group discussion (as you do everywhere, as if you are champion of democracy and started "teaching" it to Indians),
First, India did not expel it as you said; he left because of anger from a section of society because that section thinks this painter (who use to print film posters earlier) offended them, Simple. he's living in Dubai peacefully and since Qatar is another champion of certain issues, conferred citizenship to him (it's only offered).
MF can anytime go back to India and live there. but as a minimum he can do is to say sorry for hurting centiments of section of society.
Art is art and should not become fart..lol

Take the example of this ...Take the example of this Playboy cover, showing an image representing Mary, the Mother of Jesus, published in Spain:
It is obviously a provocative and even offensive picture for many Catholics, and I am sure many condemned it. But does that mean the magazine was closed, or the author was expelt from Spain? No, because its art and art is interpreted differently from individual to individual, independently the creator’s intentions.
In a free, diverse and tolerant world, art is what it is and it should never be conditioned or used as a weapon!
Was I wrong in assuming that India was a diverse and tolerant society?
Art is art.
Even in China, a dictatorship, Mao tse Tsung is painted and portrayed in ridiculous and obscene postures.
Art cannot be condemned, it can be criticized but not censored. One may not like, one may feel offended by it, but that is art, unique creations by unique individuals.
Even if the artist had bad intentions, its still art. He could have been criticized by those who felt offended but removing him of his citizenship it’s quite a radical measure. This would never ever happen in the West, no matter how provocative the piece of art may be seen by some.
I was wrong about India; they are obviously not there yet!
I respect, it’s their entire right, I do not agree though!

Here issue is not whether those centiments are good or bad, issue is some1 is hurting them and remains unapologetic!!

Two, India is diverse, I can give you hundreds of examples stating it.
Three, ur statement that "they are obviously not there yet" is irrelative here cose India's democracy or system or culture need not to copy to any1 else or intend to reach any destination.

I agree, primarily, with you that art is art and remain so ....U must agree that I know India more than you, sure and trust me there are MANY such creatures in india who express ROUTINLY against Indian ethos in terms of art. expressions/ demonstrations/ acts and so on..and they are happily enjying thier freedom of expression...trust me there are many!!!

I would find if obscene and would not like it and would not look at it, maybe I would publicly express my views but I would not cause any harm to the author. He maybe crazy or just deliberately offensive, but I would have no right to stop his creations (no matter how much I couldn’t stand their sight).
Now this is what I think, in no way I am trying to enforce it on India.
India does what they judge right for the Nation and I respect.
I was just caught by surprise, I would expect more flexibility in what I see a modern and diverse democratic country, that’s all.
No offense, I respect all your point of views, I just don’t embrace them.
Hope you are OK withthis!

Just for information, all modern democratic countries (i guess you'll agree) hhave constitutiona and penal provisions against such "crazy or just deliberately offensive including obscene presentation. India to has.
as I said earlier, he had enough reason to be prosecuted under these penal codes but as i said earleir ther are many such creature there r thriving in the name of freedom of expression, which some like & some doesn't.
I reiterate, govt of India did nothing, rather protected his rights;
(he's not expelled, please correct all here)
It's his wish if he's living in Dubai, and as I know he's still in touch with india, selling paintings, being honored (yes some organization it sometime back), being interview & watched, friends visiting n so on.....!

Like a couple of people said ...Like a couple of people said before, the Indian govt hasnt imposed any bans on him. He is free on that count, but he has definitely angered quite a few people and hence suffered the same fate as Rushdie or Taslima. But I am not sure whether anybody has issued a fatwa on his head.
Coupla months back I had recieved a fwd from a friend of mine which kind of classified Hussain's paintings. It was kind of amusing to note that he had used nudity or degrading caricatures only while depicting gods/characters from one particular religion. It ended with a comment saying that he had once portrayed hitler in the nude coz his intention was to literally 'strip'(as in insult) Hitler. now, that was just a fwd and I did not have the time to do a research and confirm the facts. But it did contain some of the famous paintings by this guy and quite a lot of them were authentic.

Can't under why the Qatar ...Can't under why the Qatar govt granted citizenship to a 95 year old whose lost his marbles. There must be others more deserving than him. This guy's brain has been "fossilised".

iCE You should know that ...iCE You should know that Qatar Govt always makes wise decisions...how long would a 95 yr old man live anyways? Even leasing contracts are for 99yrs only i'm sure they thought by the time he's actually been made a citizen he'd be 6 feet under.
Another example of bright ideas is to have speeding at the signals Qr. 500 and breaking the red light Qr.6000 fine :P

Simple answer to your ...Simple answer to your question Ice Maiden - Publicity. Why do you think they are bidding for the World Cup? Why do you think they are trying to get silly world records? Publicity. They want to let the rest of the world know about the tiny country that not many people have heard about.

Saggy the signal radars do ...Saggy the signal radars do catch u for speeding...dont believe the rumors just fly by your nearest neighborhood signal and see. For best results try going over 100kmph :D
