THE FLAG OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA

Flag Code, Etiquette and Laws


The flag should never be used for advertising purposes. It should not be embroidered, printed or otherwise impressed on such articles as cushions, handkerchiefs, paper napkins, boxes, or anything that is designed for temporary use. Advertising signs should not be fastened to a flag's staff or halyard.

The flag should never be used as wearing apparel, bedding, or drapery. Bunting of blue, white, and red can be used for covering a speaker's desk, draping the front of a platform, or for decoration in general.

FLAG CODE OF INDIA, 2002
The disrespect to the Indian National Flag means and includes

using the Indian National Flag as a portion of costume or uniform of any description or embroidering or printing it on cushions, handkerchiefs, napkins or any dress material;

allowing the Indian National Flag to touch the ground or the floor or trail in water intentionally

Still doesn't change what I said. The flag code you have cited is for India only, it has no jurisdiction outside of India

I don't think Indian laws apply in Canada. I would be more concerned about this if these doormats were on sale in India. Its their country their rules.

But Indian leader need to know that this is only forsale in Canada. And they sale American, Canadian along with Indian flags. It's not targeting India.

If they were targeting India. They would make a toilet seat cover. So chill....

TBH.. It's pretty uncool to have anyone's national flag as a door mat.. Why would anyone unnecessarily offend a whole nation ?

I'd buy it lol.

Because culture difference . This us literally the same as saying dont paint Pakistan flag on pigs .

Feet are considered dirty in India , we are expected to wash our feet when we enter a temple or house . To do otherwise os highly disrespectful , its beyond Hinduism, most of this subcontinent share this concept .

 

[Thəorətic Muslim]

There are cultural differences around the world. The floor, feet, are seen as dirty and to point them at a person is rude.

This is pretty common thing in Iraq when the US had forces there during the rebuilding. Public places would be painted with the American flag on the floor for patrons to walk across. Before the practice was ended by US Soldiers splashing white paint over the crude flag.

But this is disrespectful. A country's flag, regardless of which it is, should be shown with the respect it deserves.

Does it really matter. It's not a flag. It's just a doormat in the form of a flag. So chill.

They key is that this is for sale in Canada, not India. Stop dictating how people of other countries should conduct themselves and respect their culture.

Yeah but they should have just stuck to the Canadian flag though, Yes altruistically it's just a piece of cloth, But it's also a banner that represent a nation of people.. Where do you draw the line on this, Do they also have Chinese flag as door mats, Or the crescent and the star ?

we Muslims also ask the same question when many try to offend us but guess what in that case you guys do not give us the right to question

 

[SarthakGanguly]

I don't care. In India it is illegal. Indian flag is regularly burnt in Pakistan. I still don't care. If I get a doormat with the Indian flag, I will frame it and fix it on the wall in the living room. The Indian colors look nice anywhere.

Yeah and then Indians went ahead and slaughtered the Amazon suppliers shouting Jai Hind in the streets of Toronto, demanding a boycott of all Canadians and attacks on them all over the world.

Well are Muslims a nation ? Do they have a specific flag to represent them ? Satire and directly offending a group of people are also two different things, Just out of curiosity any examples on this regard that Muslims have been offended on commercial scale ? There are dickheads in all corners of the world who will say and do offensive things to others, Cant condone either and ofcause anyone has the right to redress if they deem offended

Why so? India does not have toilets even. That is misrepresentation.
