The "trigger" behind it was the announcement by a local temple that beef was being consumed by the victim's family, and said the priest and the two youths were the "major links" in the case. The youths forced the temple priest to announce the family ate Beef through loud speakers.

According to the ritual, which Jains believe has been prevalent for thousands of years, a person voluntarily gives up food and water, either because of an incurable illness or due to the belief that the end is near. It is reserved only for the old and the invalid and is practised rarely

There are some art forms and works that only artists or lovers of art can understand. Such works should not be for public consumption. Just as we have adult movies, such art work should be only for genuine art lovers. These need not be placed in public gallery. These need also not be publicized. I remember that some paintings of Hussain were kept in a gallery that was not for public exhibition. But some enthusiasts entered there and damaged paintings and furniture.

Yes you are right, but one lady done santhara after declaring it suicide by the court, in Bikaner.
This happens. all crimes occur even when people know these are wrong. Santhara is akin to sati system that was abolished by Raja Ram Mohan's efforts.

Such things are normal. Many have no business other than to watch marriageable boys and girls and provike ther parents for early marriage. They would also make suggestions on other matters like suggesting doctor or medicines. The best way is to give them a deaf ear. Don't give them any serious reply. If you don't respond, they will be discouraged.

As far as artworks are concerned, it is mainl;y in India that controversies are created regarding the caste of the artist. But no one ever says anything about the real talent and skill of the artist. In this case, where Hussain's paintings are concerned, we already had another similar discussion where I had made it quite clear that Hussain was never trained as an artist and it was by fluke that he was systematically and in a planned manner projected as being one. He did not have the basic strong drawing skill and strong sense of composition which a professional artist SHOULD have. While his loyal fans speak about Hussain's bold content, colour composition, his horses depicting freedom etc. they themselves seem to be forgetting that art is about "picking up that is beautiful and presenting it in such a manner that it is aesthetically pleasing and appealing to the viewer's" Hussain's art certainly lacks it all and only those praised his art to whom those pieces have brought money in auctions. It is only because Hussain is a Muslim that we find so many loyal fans of his here even though he has neither talent nor skill. We had many other Muslim artists, professionally trained and more adept at paintings but just because they were not projected by media and certain other factions, have remained obscure to this day. We have Abalal Rehman from Kolhapur , Abdur Rahman Chughtai from Lahore, and S.S. Shaikh, an excellent artist who died last month in Mumbai. But do anyone even know their names?? Just google these names and see their works and compare them with Hussain. But please just do not keep praising Hussain and his paintings because in my opinion, by doing so, you are insulting not Hindu culture or Gods, but the whole purpose of what art is and what role it plays in development of our society.
