La Madre India nuda, un affare di Stato nazionale - In February 2006, a painting, representing a map of India in the form of a naked woman, entitled "Nude Bharatmata" (Nude Mother India) by Maqbool Fida Husain, appeared in an Indian magazine in English «India Today». A national affair: Nude Bharatmata 2006 analyses reactions in India and abroad, examines the Husain affair in the light of the longue durée of national iconography and highlights the coexistence of different, even conflictual expectations from national representations as India goes "global".
