Protest against mf husain paintings: Famous painter MF Hussain’s auction of paintings is being objected to in Mumbai. The ‘Hindu Janajagruti Sangathan’ says that all other paintings of painter MF Hussain, who showed Bharat Mata in an objectionable manner, should also be banned. The Hindu organization has demanded, “Stop the glorification of MF Hussain’s criminal acts.”

Actually, some paintings of MF Hussain have been part of controversies, which the court itself has ordered to seize. One of these paintings depicts a nude woman, who is bent and looks in the shape of the map of India. There was a lot of controversy about this. Now the Hindu organization says, “The auction of 25 other paintings of controversial painter MF Hussain, who depicted 140 million Indians with ‘Rape of India’ titled ‘Rape of India’, should be prevented.”

If the auction continues, there will be intense movement
Let me tell you, MF Hussain’s paintings have been auctioned on June 12 in the ‘Pandol Art Gallery’ of Hamilton House, Mumbai. In this background, the Hindu Janajagruti Samiti has submitted a memorandum to Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis, Union Home Minister Amit Shah, Mumbai Police Commissioner and District Magistrate. It warns that if the auction continues then there will be intense movement.

The Hindu organization has said, “MF Hussain made a picture called ‘Rape of India’ at the time of 26/11 terror attack, in which Bharat was shown as naked and humiliating. It was the culmination of treason. In other pictures, the names of Indian cities are written on the body of naked Bharat Mata. In one picture, naked Sita is naked on the tail of Hanuman, then the naked Rama-seta and Hanuman are seen together.”

‘1250 complaints against MF Hussain’
On behalf of the committee, it was said, “In one picture, Shriganesh is seated in the lap of a naked woman, while in the other, Lord Hanuman is shown flying with a naked woman in his hand. Goddess Saraswati, Parvati, Ganga, Yamuna etc. have also hurt the reverence of millions of goddesses. It has been recorded. Due to this, his performance was opposed and eventually he had to leave India and take citizenship of Qatar. “

‘Conducting exhibitions like supporting treason’
The committee further said that the auction of these 25 paintings is like giving indirect support to their former anti -national and social acts. It is not acceptable in any form to hurting religious sentiments and anti -national people in the name of ‘artistic freedom’.

Many action against MF Hussain
Recently, Delhi’s Patiala House Court has ordered the seizure of paintings in Hussain’s performance and investigation is going on. In the past, many exhibitions of Hussain have been canceled due to protest and the awards to be given in his name have also been canceled.

MF Hussain’s demand to destroy paintings
In such a situation, now the Hindu Janajagruti Samiti has demanded that the proposed auction and sale of MF Hussain’s paintings should be stopped immediately and a legal restriction should be imposed on it. Perfect action should be taken against the people, institutions and art galleries performing or selling these paintings. The spread of paintings hurting religious and national sentiments should be banned and the derogatory picture of Bharat Mata should be declared anti -national and destroyed it.

Mf hussain painting record breaking sale: The painting of famous Indian artist Maqbool Fida Hussain (MF Hussain) has broken all the existing records of Indian art. The painting was sold for Rs 118.7 crore ($ 13.75 million) in the South Asian modern and contemporary art auction held in Christians New York, which is almost double the previous record.

In September 2023, Amrita Shergill’s painting ‘The Story Taylor’ set a record for selling for Rs 61.8 crore, but this painting of Hussain has overtaken it. As soon as the final amount of the auction was announced, the rockfeller center resonated with applause. This painting was not publicly seen in public for 70 years, and now it has been sold for Rs 118.7 crore.

Hussain’s most expensive painting
Nishad Avari, head of the Department of South Asian modern and contemporary arts of Christies, described the incident as historic. Earlier, Hussain’s most expensive painting was sold for Rs 26.8 crore ($ 3.1 million), which was auctioned in London in 2022 for a painting called Untitled Reirankernation.

Special thing about painting
‘Gram Yatra’ (1954) Hussain has a painting of about 14 feet wide, in which the daily routine of Indian rural life is depicted. This includes 13 scenes (Vicyates), which depicts India’s agricultural tradition, rural life and social references. The painting features a male and female bullock cart, which is a symbol of the beauty and importance of Indian agriculture.

In addition, women are seen extracting cow’s milk, grinding grains and taking care of their children, which symbolize fertility, creation, and rebirth. In a special scene, the farmer is shown taking the land, which symbolically exposes the importance of rural society of India.

Importance of rural India
This composition especially brings out the role of rural society in post -independence India. According to Christies’ official website, this painting is a great example of rural India’s contribution and its deep roots in Hussain’s art.

Hussain’s ‘Village Yatra’
Hussain’s ‘Gram Yatra’ not only shows his art quality, but also reveals the deep understanding and respect of Indian rural life and culture. The historic auction of this painting has once again strengthened the importance of Indian modern art and its identity globally.
