I would read this highly intellectual interview (dated). Lots of critical points to ponder.

Sad for India, that it has come to this.

No sensible person can deny that the vandalism and harassment that Husain was subjected to just before he left India was a disgrace. But the secular lobby wants to go further. It wants to use his renunciation of Indian citizenship to caricature India as a soft state where bigots run free, terrorising great artists and vandalising works of art. The problem with this caricature is that, in the Husain case at least, the facts are considerably more complicated. Husain is not really an asylum seeker. And even he is willing to admit that his motives are partly commercial.

Stop reading that crap when it described Vir Sanghvi as fair and balanced. I know Snaghvi and he is neither. Appalling article.

Just to clarify I meant Sanghvi’s piece not Dougal’s article, which I disagree with but is worth reading!
