India: TV office ransacked because of Muslim painter

Armed with hockey sticks (?), a "right wing" Hindu group named the Hindu Kingdom Army attacked a TV station for including M.F. Husain, a Muslim painter on the list for India's highest civilian honor: The Bharat Ratna, or the Jewel of India.

The 92-year-old painter — considered India’s foremost painter — has been in the eye of the storm for his paintings of semi-nude Hindu deities. Right-wing Hindu outfits regularly target Husain for drawing their gods and goddesses in the nude. In 2006, a hardline Hindu group offered an 11.5-million-dollar reward for his death. Husain also faces a slew of cases accusing him of offending the sentiments of Hindus. Husain, who has lived in self-exile in Dubai and London for the past year, has labeled the cases against him “unfortunate.”

Paint a naked Mohammed, Husain and then we can talk about "unfortunate".
