at about two million plus in international art market.
islamized hindus

Vienna,Monday,March 17,2008: I am reminded of my friend
Krishnaji Hovlaji Ara,who passed away in sleep at his adopted
daughter and painter Ruxana´s parental house on the Chapel
Road,Bandra, Bombay in 1984 summer as I was attending a
conference in Budapest, Hungary. Ara, one of the greatest
of humans, will remain forever among the greatest of Indian
painters even though the late selfish to the core K.K.Hebbar,
encouraged illiterate J.J.School of Art students to make Ara´s
living ´putla´, his neighbour Meinduck Balya Thakeray istyle.
Putla in Marathi (not meant dead) language means a sculpture!
K.K.Hebbar´s eyes were on taking over the Artists´ Centre in
Bombay´s Rampart Row, now known as Kaikushru Dubash
Marg, through a futuristic Lalu Prasad mob politics away from
Ara´s influence!
Friend Ara and Usha Khanna,
the wife of late filmmaker friend
Rajbhans Khanna
Ara used to call friend, uncle of Musalman Rushdie´s, M.F.
Husain a Jatka Sab endearingly,because of his fondness
for painting wood curt horses. Following Ara´s free expression,
I suggest to Husain recite Bhagavadgita silently, that is in
the form of ´ajapa japa´, ´svadharme nidhanam shreyah
paradharmo bhayavahah´ ( It is better to die with one´s own
merits, stealing other´s merits is dangerous´.Then advise
auctioneers Christie´s to buy a huge fishing net which can
accommodate the entire gujju Islamized Hindu lot in the
U.S. to sink them in the Atlantic Ocean until they all die
as fish out of water to go direct into the heavens as they have
appealed for demonstration against his paintings true neo
tradition of sand land kingdom of holy places!
The context is the following report in Mumbai Mirror,
self explanatory.Text with illustration:
A group working to advance the cultural heritage of Indians
in the US along with a Hindu organisation has threatened to
hold a demonstration unless the Christie’s Art Gallery here
stops the scheduled auction of several paintings of noted
artiste M F Husain on March 20.
In a letter to Christie’s, the Indian American Intellectual Forum
— which has joined hands with Hindu Janjagruti Samiti against Husain
— said the painter has gained “ignominy and notoriety.
Therefore, it is a matter of “great regret and shame”(on them) 
A group of Indians have sent a letter to Chirstie’s asking it to refrain from auctioning Husain’s paintings
that auction by Christie’s Art Gallery, as part of the Indian and South
Asian sale on March 20, is featuring several of his paintings. The letter
by Forum President Narain Kataria was released by the organisation on Saturday.
Christie’s expects some of Husain’s paintings to fetch between $120,000
and $180,000 and several between $20,000 and $40,000. Kataria also
sent a power-point presentation to Christie’s which, he says, “lists his (Husain’s) deliberate distortion and degradation of Hindu culture”.
“Seven cases have been registered against him. Six courts have issued
arrest warrants against him. More than 28,000 people have signed a
petition condemning Husain for his malicious attempts to vilify Hindu people. 1250 police complaints have been filed against him,” Kataria claimed.
In this background, he said it is “unbecoming on the part of Christie’s,
a reputable Art Gallery, to associate with a person of criminal
background and promote his paintings.”
Asserting that Christie’s association with Husain would “jeopardise”
its business in the long run, he urged it to “refrain” from auctioning
Husain’s paintings.( It is Gujjus association with Hitlerite Naradhama
Modi, that in the long run will make the Hindu jihadists to sink
themselves all together in the Atlantic.Take the writing on the
wall seriously.kb)(end)
