On the left side is the Om Symbol (all Hindus know what it is and what it means). And on the right side you see the logo of the ‘Pink Chaddi Campaign’. Make out for yourself if the image on the right side is a satirical take of Hindu’s sacred symbol or not. I feel very offended that some incident in Mangalore should result in opportunistic bashing of my Hindu religion.
When the creator of the Pink Chaddi campaign is one Nisha Susan (you can understand that she is a probably a Christian by the second name), I can suspect that this was an attempt to ridicule Hinduism by the defaming picture that of replacing Om with an Underwear! So someone like me will point a figure about the intentions of this Pink Chaddi campaign, it has clearly hurt my feelings and I am pretty certain that many Hindus would feel the same looking at the images.
I know that there has been some malice against Hinduism that has been going on in states like Karnataka, for instance have a look at these images, a pamplet circulated by one missionaries of New Life which really caused unnecessary communal trouble in the state. These images should speak for themselves.
My intention here is not to spark any tension among various communities. As a Hindu, I respect all the other religions and at the same time expect the same from my fellow Indians. This is just a humble request to think again before defaming any religion. It would be better if the Pink Chaddi Campaigners put some disclaimer around that image, the best is to remove the controversial background.
