If you deeply investigate such defamations, abuse would have been started by an Indian or Indo-American co. I feel Americans dont have to do this. But what is wrong in using a name. For ex. we, in India, commonly use 'Lord Venkateswara Beer', 'Hanuman wines', 'Laxman Banian', 'Lakshmi wines Bar attached' etc. proudly displaying the respective Gods in the name boards. What action has been taken? Have we come across names of Muslim or Christian faith in such things? Big No. for ex. 'Jesus Wine bar attached'. I am really at loss to know why such hue and cry are raised regarding this.

Dear, you need a solid update of your GK bank. Some years ago, there was a huge cry n uproar in the Muslim Nations over Nike Shoes. Nike had introduced a range of sports shoes there which had a graphic on it's rear just above the sole. This graphic was the exact reason for these Muslim Nations ire. It resembled a Muslim Religious Symbol. Nike was forced to withdraw the entire range by these Nations. & we here give a damn 'bout anything. In fact, it's become a fashion to bash anything related to Hinduism/ God. Why are we ashamed to flaunt our religion? Alien entities will sling mud at us & our culture & expect us to stay quiet on this matter. But when the same is done for their religion, they cry hoarse, "Islam Khatre Main" or ""Christianity Is Doomed"? kick these obstinate asses.

this is exactly where we need to show our superiority. some people may live in 7th century arabia and prescribe cutting off of limbs to punish stealing. but we, as a proud, progressive and developing nation need not exactly compare ourselves with those guys. why dont you come out of your well and look at the developed world and start comparing india with them, rather than forever harping on "if they did that why cant we ..."

Dear Thakur I have a good GK bank. Anyhow thanks for the suggestion. NIKE put a symbol resembling Muslim icon or something. I dont know whether NIKE is Muslim. But of course, Muslims all over the world solidly opposed which made NIKE withdraw. Here I say Hindu Gods are depicted for business by none other than Hindus themselves, not by Muslims or Christians. Now tell me whom will you fight? Hindus-vis-a-vis Hindus. Please find somewhere posted a response to my Post that Defaming Puri deity was done by none other than an Indian Hindu. Now tell me what to do?

I know some Indians can be so cheap and silly minded. Further, they will be mostly Hindus who use Hindu Gods for cheap publicity over which other Hindus raise hue and cry. It is not the Muslim or Christian who is using Hindu God for cheap publicity

you know balajee, viruses imitate a living cell and invade it to destroy it. Is that what you christians also do ? you imitate hindu names, hindu rituals, piously proclaim your horror at people like Modi and at the same time, murder millions of innocent muslims in iraq, palestine etc.
