Seattle based toilet seat manufacturer 'Sittin Pretty' came up with a new design with images of Lord Ganesh and Goddess Kali. These are the Gods worshipped by millions of Indians all over the world and should not be maligned by putting them over the toilet seats like this.
Several Hindu organizations started protest campaigns to have these Aproducts withdrawn. Thousands protested by sending emails, faxes and making phone calls. The efforts sustained. After a long campaign of protests, manufacturer withdrew these two designs from the market. American Hindus Against Defamation were at the forefront of this effort.This really pathetic.we,indians need to establish our culture and tradition in a global manner.NOW PEOPLE OVER THERE CAN EXPRESS THEIR VIEWS REGARDING THIS TOPIC IN THE COMMENTS COLUMN!! THE BEST COMMENT WILL BE POSTED IN THIS BLOG ENTTLING YOUR NAME!! SO DONT MISS IT!!
