Representing India as a woman being raped, is nothing but terrible denigration. For an Indian, 'Bharat Mata' (Mother India) is a Goddess and not some figurative concept and showcasing her in this manner is highly outrageous and a completely unacceptable form of denigration.

It would be appropriate to ask MF Husain if he would have dared to make a similar painting had there been an attack on the UK, the UAE or Qatar and named it the 'Rape of UK, UAE or Qatar' ? (Husain has recently become a citizen of Qatar)
3.
What is MF Husain's sick fascination for having sex with animals ? Why does he repeatedly superimpose his dirty minded eroticism on Deities ?
4.
Why has he split the canvas in half ? Does he want to suggest that India will spilt ? Why this divisive implication that India will crumble under attack ?
5.
Why has he painted the blood that has been spilt in the colour green ? And also the two bulls with green faces. The offenders of the cowardly terrorist attacks that India is facing, are the people who are symbolized by the colour green, and not the other way around. Does he expect the Islamisation of India ?
6.
India has been wounded by innumerable terrorist attacks. Instead of expressing her pain, MF Husain has humiliated her and has added insult to her injury by showing her being raped and that too with the perverted suggestion of an animal straddling her and of a man pulling at her blouse and staring at her breast.
7.
If MF Husain is truly an artist (as claimed by the artist community) and that all his thoughts about being outraged by terrorism were genuine, then why does he not paint others being nude and having sex with animals ? But as we have observed he depicts only India and Hindus in this manner.
8.
Thus, for these reasons this painting is unacceptable to an Indian and it hurts and rapes our sensibilities.

Who ever it is, when it comes to hurting People Sentiments should be given a strong punishment. No one is having right to point on Nations image and culture. Especially a person who is having social responsibility should be having a common sense to take people into right way to the beautiful life. People and Government should not encourage any person leading to miss guide people. When it comes to M.F. Husain there is no lose to INDIA. There are lakhs of Great talented painters are in INDIA, who are not in lime light. Instead of wasting time and money on M.F Husain, We can help those talented painters to reach that extra mile :-)
Very True...If it happend in our religion he may be under death penalty
