Success of HJS : Husain paintings’ exhibition at Hema Malini's NY performance canceled
October 6, 2011
Ashwin Shukla 10, Kaliyug Varsha 5113
Late M. F. Husain paintings’ exhibition at Hema Malini's New York dance performance canceled after protest campaign initiated by HJS and FHA !
O Hindus, let us pay gratitude towards God for this success !
USA: Forum for Hindu Awakening has learned from the organizers (SAMAA) of Late M. F. Husain’s paintings’ exhibition at Hema Malini’s 1st October New York dance concert that they had canceled the exhibition upon receiving emails from protesting Hindus. The organizers wrote, “On behalf of SAMAA, we apologize to all of you if we hurt your sentiments. Hemaji was unaware of such an exhibition. As soon as we received your emails, we cancelled the exhibition. As soon as Hemaji came to know about the exhibition, she totally opposed it and did not want to be any part of it.”
The organizers also forwarded us confirmation from officials of New York University (NYU) Skirball Center for the Performing Arts, where the concert was held, that no painting of M. F. Husain was displayed at the center. The NYU Skirball Center’s Senior Director, Michael Harrington wrote, “It is our understanding that no work of the artist in question was displayed at either the Skirball Center or Kimmel Center on October 1.” As well, Jonathan Ross of NYU wrote, “To add to Michael's email, the university will not be making a formal statement, but I can certainly assert that as per our agreement on Saturday, no works by MF Hussain were displayed at the Kimmel or Skirball Centers at NYU.”
On 1stOctober 2001, FHA had received a complaint about the exhibition to be held during the post concert reception that evening. When HJS received this information from FHA, HJS also appealed all devout Hindus in India to protest lawfully against the SAAMA and NY Univ. Due to protest by Hindus, the organisers canceled exhibition of Anti-Hindu painter M F Husain's paintings.
Considering Hema Malini's public official standing (as an Ex-MP and current official of India’s political party, the Bharatiya Janata Party) among Hindus in India and abroad, Hindus were urged to reach out to Bharatiya Janata Party contacts and Hema Malini, to request her to perform only if this exhibition is canceled. Within hours, many Hindus had promptly protested by email and phone to the organizers, and tried to reach Hema Malini via Bharatiya Janata Party contacts. Despite the short notice, a Caribbean Hindu gentleman, Patanjali Rambrich had also stood outside the concert venue, giving out flyers to the concert goers, creating awareness about the issue. Today, upon receiving the news of this exhibition not being held due to protests, Hindus worldwide are paying gratitude to the divine for this welcome news during their observance of the auspicious Navratri (nine-night-long Hindu observance of fasting and devotion unto Divine Energy or Shakti).

From: Hema Malini <hhemammalini@gmail.com> Subject: Re: Stop going event of MF hussain - Anti Hindu To: A Devout Hindu Date: Thursday, 6 October, 2011, 10:07 AM
I am as pained as you are by the events that took place in New York on the 1st of October, 2011.
During the many discussions I had with SAAMA, the organisers of the event, prior to my departure to New York, I was never given any indication of clubbing my dance performance with MF Hussain’s paintings. I was indeed shocked and in fact withdrew from my dance commitment if my show was spoken of in the same breath as that of Hussain’s paintings.
Ms. Simmi Bhatia, the organiser, on my demand, withdrew the paintings. I could then present my program of classical dances alongwith my daughters to the delight of audiences which included many dignitaries including the Consul General of India, Shri. Prabhu Dayal.
Let me reassure one and all that my birth, upbringing and innate faith as a Hindu can never be questioned and aberrations like the present one will in fact strengthen my belief and commitment to the glory of Hinduism.
HEMA.

E-mail by SAAMA to FHA
From: SAMAA Date: Tue, Oct 4, 2011 at 11:20 AM Subject: M F HUsain paintings not exhibited on 1st Oct at Skirball Center, NY To: FHA
This is to inform all of the people who have complained and protested about MF Husain's paintings exhibition on 1st Oct 2011 in New York that there were no paintings of MF Husain exhibited on 1st Oct 2011 at Skirball center for Hemaji's performance.
On behalf of SAMAA, we apologize to all of you if we hurt your sentiments. Hemaji was unaware of such an exhibition. As soon as we received your emails, we cancelled the exhibition. As soon as Hemaji came to know about the exhibition, she totally opposed it and did not want to be any part of it.
The paintings were supposed to have been exhibited at the reception after the performance. These paintings were of Mother Teresa and the money from the sale was supposed to have gone to SAMAA which is a not for profit organization promoting arts and music from South Asia. We had no intention of hurting anyone's feelings and never realized that this would be a controversial issue because Hemaji was performing.
I am attaching below the email from Skirball center which also reiterates that no exhibition of M F Husain took place on 1st Oct at Skirball center for the performance or reception. You can confirm with the center on this.

To add to Michael's email, the university will not be making a formal statement, but I can certainly assert that as per our agreement on Saturday, no works by Late MF Husain were displayed at the Kimmel or Skirball Centers at NYU.

Appeal to devout Hindus
As per information received from Forum for Hindu Awakening (FHA), South Asian Music and Arts Association has organised Hema Malini's music concert at 7.30 pm on 1st October 2011 at New York at 7.30 pm (5 am, 2nd Oct. IST). The event will be followed by exhibition of Anti-Hindu painter M F Husain's paintings and serigraphs. Hema Malini was ex-MP (Member of Parliament) and she belongs to Pro-Hindu political party BJP. Now it is duty of all Hindus to protest lawfully against organisers of the event so that they should not glorify perverted painter M F Husain in their event. We should also request lawfully to Hema Malini and BJP so that Hema Malini should perform in the event only if M F Husain's exhibition is canceled.

Each and every Hindu must celebrate the death of bloody Hussain. He must be termed as 'Kaliyug Narakasura'. Let us celebrate this Deepavali as part of death of Hussain. Being a great respect towards Hindu Dharma, Hemamalini should not promote the bloody paintings of Kaliyug Narakasura i.e., M.F.Hussain.

No Hindus should tolerate such nonsense. M.F. Hussain does not deserve any respect. If he would have depicted one painting of his own religion in similar way he would have been probably burnt alive by his own community people. Hema Milini shouldn't take part in such acts of hurting sentiments of majority population.
Congratulations to Hema ji for support to Hindu Dharma

If he is fair he would have drawn the picture of Muhammad marring 15 Year older Lady Kadija and 9 year old Aisha when he was 49 years old. He could have also drawn how Muhammad was taking care of his 11 wives or more.
Only pseudo secular lots appreciate him not any sensible person.
I like first standard students painting more than his

Husein have hurt the feelings of Hindus worldwide by painting denigrating paintings of our Deities. He knew of this strong feelings of Hindus and still went on painting such pictures. Any paintings of this bigot should not be promoted under any pretex. Hema Malini should ony perform if the paintings are removed or STOP THE PROMOTION.
As I write this I do not know if she has gone ahead with MFH promotion inspite of our feelings but if she had then she has added insult to our injuries.

MF Hussains work has become glorified only to westerners who have no respect and a lack of understanding towards hinduism. Maybe if he did an oil painting of Jesus in the nude, perhaps they would be as disgusted as we are and realize that this man had no talent. Hema Malini probably has no idea what she has gotten involved in. I think no matter what the cost she should refrain from being part of this anti hindu display.

I strongly object the exhibition of those paintings by MFH which denigrate Hindu icons of reverence.
I did not expect such an anti-Bharat, anti-Hindu activity from a member of BJP. Millions still believe that BJP is the only hope in politics for people who love Bharat, it's age old culture and traditions. I request the leaders of BJP to strongly urge Hema Malini to desist from any such activities that insults Bharat Mata or our religion.

Hindus take care of sentiments of every other religion, but sentiments of hindus are beeing hurt all the time.
Smt Hema Malini should not have gone for this knowing very well what M F husain has painted.
What kind of Indian and Hindu she is if she is not able to think even so much.
Please stop hurting hindu sentiments by not arranging any show of M. F. Husains work.

This is disgraceful Hemaji.
How can you possibly agree to do something like this?
And to the organisers - is there any moral instinct in you? Why must you support a cause that causes agrrevation in others?
Hemamalini should be ashamed of this act. Why the party to which she belongs and which calls itself the defender of hindu cause not stopping her from doing this sacrilageous act

BJP should ask Hema malini not to participate in any function where M F Hussain is adored in any way.
In INDIA we give repsect to all religions including ISLAM. We also expect them to reciprocate the same. If M F Husain had used his so called ART to damage unity of this country than let us protect & stop this function & I'm sure even muslims will help us in this noble work. Let us not tolerate this madness any more. And if HEMA MALINIJI is true HINDU & INDIAN then she should not perform in front of this paintings.

You are old enough to realize that at least now you can stand for what you feel is right!! And the right thing is to NOT be with or encourage people who hurt others sentiments.....
You choose your actions now....that will determine the reactions that will come back to you (karma)!!!
God has given intelligence to you...use it!

This is abuse of freedom of speech, extending hate speech into art form in the name of freedom of expression. Any promotion of such "hate" art is not only encouraging viciously bad form of hate art/speech but also raises legal/moral questions as to the extent you would go for raising funds or marketing your event.

Dear Madam,
I am sure you do know what amount of hurt the painter caused Hindus. The worst part is that he refused to apologise or change the interpretations of Hindu gods. I need not write about what would have happened if anybody had even the courage to do 100th of this to Islam. We can all be broad minded, but that just does not mean we have to actively encourage what is denounced by most Hindus. Kindly refrain from hurting our sentiments, because we all love your dignified public personality.Thanks.SG

Shree Hemaji How can you support the concert in honour of a devout anti Hindu painter? He was so much against Hinduism that he chose to live in Kuwait rather than India. He has insulted a lot of Hindus and other lovers of Hinduism by drawing and selling nude and rude paintings of Hindu Gods and Goddesses. I am sure that as a Hindu you will not take part in honoring or supporting any programme which gives this person any credit.

Why do you want a cheap publicity hemamalini ji. As an artist cant you realize the hatred in the paintings of mf hussain.? As a classical dancer, whose purpose should only be realize the divine rhythm, how can you try to promote yourself as depicting something that is as ghastly as mf hussain paintings whose idea is to insult the very basic idea of Hinduism.

An appeal to South Asian Music and Arts Association and Hema Malini:
South Asian Music and Arts Association: Please do not include Hussains paintings exhibition as planned. It is very hurtful to us. This display is equivalent to insulting other religious as well. Islam, particularly prohibits such acts as Hussain's. This is not ART, but pornography. Be decent and make the world a better place to live in for every one.
Hema Malini: Please do not participate in the event, which is designed by a group to insult and defame Hinduism worldwide.

Dear Hemaji, Hinduism reveres the incarnation of Shakti in Her various forms. Draupadi, Sita and others are all forms of the Divine. Why should any Hindu in his / her right mind support MS Hussain?

Madam Hema Malini,
We all hold you in high esteem as an accomplished artist, star, actress and dancer and what not. Please do not hurt our feelings by participating in an event staged to promote Hussain who time and again has hurtHindu sentiments/feeling by painting Hindu deities in a disrespectful manner.
Regards.

Hema ji,
I thought you were devout Hindu and you had adopted Islam only to wed Dharmendra ji.
Looks like Islam has cast its spell on you and now you are ready to denigrate Hindu Devis whose roles you had done on screen.
It would be shame on you if you glorified the unworthy like Hussain.
Hindu Raashtr' will not forget your anti-Hindu contribution.

It really amazes me Ms Hema Malini is not aware of how she can use her talent to give tribute to the right person and what shocks me is that she is a Hindu right!! how unaware are we !! my personal request to you Ms Hemaji is that please wake up and also help others who are not aware of the derogatory work of that despicable man who should not be respected by any conscious Hindu, he wasn't just an artist, but a conniving individual. Please see.

anything that denigrates any religion should not be encouraged. since hema malini is aware of hussain's paintings that go against hindu religion, she should herself pull out of this instead of holding her concert.

Hema malini should be ashamed that she has agreed to promote such a cause.

I ONCE AGIN STRONGLY PROTEST SUCH ONSLAUGHT AGAINST OUR SANATANA DHARMA AND CULTURE. IT IS HIGH TIME THAT ALL HINDUS LODGE THESE PROTESTS TO THE GOVERNMENT OF INDIA AND MAKE T TAKE STRONG MEASURES TO ONCE FOR ALL STOP SUCH MOST HEINOUS INCIDENTS. NO OTHER RELIGION TOLERATES SUCH VANDALISM IN THE NAME OF MODERNITY AND SECULARISM. ALL HINDUS SHOULD THROW AWAY THIS BRAND OF SECULARISM ONCE FOR ALL.
We respect you as a dancer and an actress. We request you not to perform in a place, where Husain's painting is displayed, because he has,
without any sensitivity, has immensely hurt our
feelings as Hindus, by his idiotic paintings.
Hope you will respect our views and sensitivities!

Hema Malini proved, being famous celebrity does not necessarily mean they have sense of knowledge!
She had performed as ‘Saint Meera’ in many dramas and I thought she must have read about ‘Saint Meera’ to perform the role and that surely must have helped her to cultivate her mind.. How can she do any simple thing for those who insult our God..
difficult to digest this. we protest. pls refrain from doing such promotion.

We did not expect from Hema Malini to support the cause of anti-hindu painter. True, she may not be directly supporting it, but still she owes the responsibility towards the Hindus and she belongs to Pro-Hindu BJP.
Hema ji, either you cancel your program or you ask the organisers to cancel the exhibition. You can do, its in your hands.

Hurting the feelings of any religion in the name of Art is not good and proper.

Stop glorifying M F Husain & promoting his So Called Paintings, which are nothing else but only Anti- Hindus. Why in his whole life he had not painted any nude paintings of any of Muslim lady? B'coz his whole mission was gathering name & fame by insulting only Hindu deities, that too residing in Hindustan.
And you people are trying to glorify M F Husain's paintings, its very shameful act.
I would like to request you all to stop this show.

Organizers should remove M F Husain's paintings from the program of Hema Malini. He has used his art for another kind of Jehad against Indians and Hindus by depicting Bharat Mata and other Hindu deities in obscene manner.
Please cancel the program as in the name of art hussain depicts nudity only on Hindu gods
