 Rainbow

Chintu is a six year old boy who is quite good in pencil drawing for his age.

To encourage him , his mom bought colour pencils.....

One morning, he had drawn soothing, serene and beautiful waterfall in a forest backdrop and shown it to his mom.....

She asked him, "Why did you draw blue leaves and green sky....?"

He didn't say anything and smiled away to play Holi....

He is yet to know that he has colour blindness.

PS: This is my first 77-Fiction :) 
PS* : I jus wanted to convey the mental preparedness of a budding kid with special talents to a rare hereditary deficiency. I left it to the readers imagination through the unsaid words.

Identity - 55 Fiction

 Identity

Suryaprathap Sharma was supervising the near to complete Ram mandir in his village......

Suddenly, he stopped at a colourful painting of Lord Hanuman on a side wall of the temple and was in awe of the beautiful master piece .......

He called his subordinate and inquired about the painter........

His subordinate said, "He went for namaz"

PS : I wrote this age old utopian dogma on the occasion of M F Hussain's controversial citizenship as well as his pictures on Hindu Goddess.

Is M F Hussain not an Indian ?

India's eminent artist M.F. Husain, who has been under legal attack from Hindu fundamentalists for his paintings of Hindu goddesses/Bharatmaata and has been living in Dubai and London, has been given Qatar nationality.......  Now he has 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. India does not allow dual citizenship........

Is he no more a Indian now ?



Secularists :
Many sympathisers, including politicians, artists, media, etc of Hussain  have  expressed grievances over this news. Government has even offered security to Hussain if he is willing to come back.

• Will the same Government allow the publication and selling of Salman Rushdie's "Satanic Verses" ?

• Will the so called secular society of india support if some one paints a picture(in the same manner Hussain painted) of the prophets of  all other Indian religions, including Hussain's religion, in the name of artistic freedom and creative expression ?

Many eminent and prominent elites, including The Hindu's N Ram,  often cite the example of Khazuraho temples to support the nude portrayal of Hindu gods . Why dont they understand that the opinions, approaches, attitudes, towards nude art do change from one century to another century? Shall we start projecting nudity just because once we were as nude as animals in the evolution?

• Does only certain sections of this country have sentiments and others don't ?
  

Cultural Policing :

I am neither a patron of Bajrang Dal/RSS/VHP/Sangh Parivar nor a Theist, but still i do have sentiments regarding my culture and the way i live. Both the so called secularists and the so called Hindu religion protectors are using the issue to meet their vested interests.

•   The so called Hindu religion protectors never answer to the portrayal of eroticism of Goddesses in Hindu scriptures and paintings.

• Is the issue really about Artistic freedom/Creative expression or is it  just a Vote bank politics?
• Is it fine if some Hindu artist paints the Hindu Goddesses nudely ?
• Is it all about the religious identity of the artist?
• Sir, I think Indian culture also talks about Tolerance too.
