The Herald Tribune reports that a home furnishings company in India will destroy all promotional materials for its "Nazi Collection" linens, after India's Jewish community complained. The Nazi Collection packaging also featured swastikas.
"Furnishing dealer Jagdish Todi met Jewish community leaders to assure them that the family-owned company did not intend to hurt the sentiments of Jews, said Jonathan Solomon, chairman of the Indian Jewish Federation."
The swastika, as is fairly well-known, is an ancient Hindu good luck symbol.
The company claimed Nazi stood for "New Arrival Zone For India." Which sounds like a perfectly reasonable name for a linen collection?!?
Woah! I’m really enjoying the template/theme of this website. It’s simple, yet effective. A lot of times it’s challenging to get that “perfect balance” between superb usability and visual appearance. I must say you’ve done a fantastic job with this. Also, the blog loads super quick for me on Opera. Outstanding Blog!
I really like reading through and I think this website got some genuinely utilitarian stuff on it! .
The the very next time I read a weblog, Hopefully that this doesnt disappoint me as much as this blog. I am talking about, It was my method to read, but I really thought youd have something fascinating to state. All I hear is a few whining about something you could fix if you werent too busy seeking attention.
