The Fine People At Wikipeda have this to say about the original picture(s) this was based on.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/V%E2%80%93J_day_in_Times_Square

V–J day in Times Square, perhaps the most famous photograph by Alfred Eisenstaedt, is of an American sailor kissing a young woman on V-J Day in Times Square on August 14, 1945, that was originally published in Life magazine. (The photograph is known under various names: V-J day in Times Square, V-Day, etc.[1])

Because Eisenstaedt was photographing rapidly changing events during the V-J celebrations he didn't get a chance to get names and details. The photograph does not clearly show the faces of either kisser and several people have laid claim to being the subjects. The photo was shot just south of 45th Street looking north from a location where Broadway and Seventh Avenue converge.

However it does seem this statute is based on another photo taken at the same time by a navy photographer. (from the same Wiki entry):

 

U.S. Navy photo journalist Victor Jorgensen captured another view of the same scene, which was published in the New York Times.[4] This photograph shows less of Times Square in the background and does not show the full body of either the sailor or the nurse. Unlike the Eisenstaedt photograph, this photograph is in the public domain (by virtue of being produced by a federal government employee on official position).

I visited the the iconic statue "Unconditional Surrender" down at the port. This sculpture was inspired by the classic photo of a nurse embraced in a kiss with a sailor in Times Square during World War II. The sculpture is on loan with the Port of San Diego.

This painting is about using religion as a crutch to do what you want. Freud called this process of conjuring up socially acceptable actions based on unacceptable motives rationalization. For most Indians, religion is a huge component of their lives whether directly or indirectly, so for most people, it has also become a loophole or a matter of convenience.
