It has come to my notice that you are currently marketing shoes with the

pictures of our sacred and highly revered Hindu God Lord Rama printed on them.

We read about in the Times of India newspaper (May 26) through this link:

We are outraged by this complete lack of sensitivity on your part. I

wish to point out to you that Lord Rama thus illustrated is actually worshipped

by millions of Hindus across the world. Such display of contempt for the

spiritual beliefs and practices of a billion Hindus worldwide is causing a sense

of fury and outrage in among Hindus worldwide.

 

You have shown total disrespect for the beliefs of the millions of followers of

the oldest living, breathing spiritual civilization in the world-namely the

Hindu civilization. Being a fashion company, it is difficult for us to accept

that this has been done in blissful ignorance!

 

By marketing these products, I feel that your company is participating in the

degradation of Hindu culture. I request that you withdraw this line of shoes

from circulation and sale immediately so as to prevent further unwarranted

stress and distress to Hindus worldwide. Naturally, I also expect you to publish

a fully apology to the Hindu community.

 

Thank You.

Yours faithfully,

Ramakanth Dasaradi
