Protest letter written by devout Hindus to Marvel Art Gallery

Namaskar Shriman,
 
Just came to know about the sale of paintings by M.F.Hussain by your art gallery.

Please note that Hussain is a person who feels pride in humiliating Hindus & our motherland (Our country)

Being a Hindu, we cannot accept this, that any trace of Hussain is left in India.

To earn a livelyhood, there are many means & ways, but money earned by hurting some or by denigning Hindu Gods is simply bad.

What will it bring except hatered & negativity to you, which I hope you will never like.

It is our request on Humanitarian grounds, not to sell these paintings what so ever incentive is given to you.

Money earned by good means is worth it else it is like a bribe which never flourishes.

Thanks for understanding.
 
Regards
Thakur

Details of Sale of Husain's Paintings on EMI

Ahmedabad: Art is the newest investment avenue thronging with Gujaratis. Art galleries in the city wanting to cash in on the trend have borrowed a sale strategy from the canvas of the masters who market white goods -- equated monthly instalments (EMI), without interest.

This means a person with average income can finally aspire to possess an original of artists like MF Husain, Akbar Padamsee and SH Raza without having to lose lakhs from savings at one go.

"We are allowing buyers to pay in instalments. The EMI will depend on the salary and the paying capacity of the buyer," said Dhanvi Shah of Marvel Art Gallery.

Though the gallery will ask for guarantors and legal documents, it will not charge any interest for the deferred payment.

The instalment period will range from three to six months, and the minimum payable amount to avail the instalment facility will be Rs10,000.

More than a hundred paintings will be available under the scheme. And works to be sold through the scheme include those by stalwarts like Husain, Raza, Haku Shah, Vrundavan Solanki, Shanti Dave, and Padamsee. Artworks of young and talented artists like Manoj Kachangal, Bansi Khatri, Harshil Patel and Prexa Kapadia can also be bought on EMI.

Appreciating the initiative of the art galleries, Bharti Verma of Anayas Art Gallery, said, "There are people who want to buy rare art pieces but cannot afford them. If an art gallery comes up with instalment scheme, nothing better than that. After weighing all the pros and cons, I may also introduce the scheme at my gallery."

Khanjan Dalal of Lemongrasshopper Art Gallery, said, "Though selling art pieces by providing the EMI facility is a new phenomenon in India, it is an old concept in the West. This is indeed good news for the connoisseurs of art. They can now buy a painting which was beyond their reach till yesterday."

Merely sending protest messages to the website or to organizers is not sufficient. An appeal should be made to the people of Ahmedabad through all local newspapers in Gujarati, English and other languages. Many of the prospective buyers may not be aware that criminal cases are pending against Hussain for denigration of Hindu deities. This should be brought to their notice.

We must destroy those paintings of Hussain, mere protest will not yield any result. If they succumb to the protest and withdraw the sale, then what is the guarantee that they will not do the same in the future. In my opinion when ever we come across these kind of paintings, we should try to destroy or purchase those paintings and put it in the fire.

I condemn the painting by Mr. Hussain. though he has full freedom to paint whatever he likes but he should refrain from playing with our gods and goddess.
It is 'Hindu Dharma' which worships the stree shakti and no other faith or religion on this earth.
So instead of learning the teachings of respect and co-existence from this Dharma, he is spreading his evil thinking by depicting our respectful deities to spread wrong message to the world.
Beware Mr. Hussain, dont get so close to the fire. We have allowed you to stay here with us then please stay away from our dharma if you can not respect it and learn from it.
