For his part, and the great artist that he is, Husain is trying his best to downplay the controversy and even the hate mail campaign that interested sections in India have reportedly unleashed against him. Yet, it would have been better if he had been kept out of it all. As for the controversy surrounding some of his recent paintings, it needs to be noted that religion is a sensitive matter for most people. Yet, artists are known to exercise freedom, which is of essence in matters of creativity, and which is generally taken for granted. A free and secular society like India is expected only to urge an artist on, irrespective of his themes. That someone chose to file a case, apparently making matters worse for the artist, was bad enough. Individuals are of many hues, and they cannot altogether be restrained from such harsh reactions, but it is incumbent upon a progressive society to stand united behind the artist and his creative freedom.
