# Don't appreciate art:one of the worst victims of moral policing and censorship has been one of India's most famous painters,M F Hussain.His paintings have been defaced his films banned in Gujarat,his property vandalized and even an absurd bounty of Rs 51 Crore announced for his silver head,forcing him to exile in Qatar.Even after his ,the ire hasn't eased up.A Ganesha painting at the Marriott in Mumbai was removed last year after one visitor objected to a nude women painted alongside the god.Nudes also offended the "sensibility"of a right wing group in Delhi in 2013,though the organisers refused to buckle under the protests.[Courtesy TOI].
