"I know no one more genuinely and deeply committed to the composite, multi-religious and secular values of Indian civilization than M.F Hussain. He breathed the spirit of modrnity, progress and tolerance. the whole narrative of what forced him into exile, including the failure of the executive and the legal system to enable his safe return, revolves round the issues of freedom of expression and creativity and what secular nationhood is all about"
- N.Ram in The Hindu dated 10.6.11
