Only Indians Were Outraged That Amazon Is Selling Doormats With National Flags Printed On Them

[PïXëL]

In return Amazon has been asked only to apologize & take down the product..
It's a soft but reasonable punishment..

 

[GR!FF!N]

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 ?

Then you'd get a cyber jihad by now,or another "Cyber Great Jump" maybe.Trolls these days..

By the way,I'm with Government.One should know about "Flag Etiquette" before making these stuff.

Same thing with Camo.A lot of article in net uses camo of various military.That should also be banned.

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

Muslim faith is one of the largest ones in the world. Almost all major nations have a considerable population of this community. Outraging an important community is as offensive and negative as outraging a country. The point here is offending others be it by insulting a flag or a faith or religious symbols. This trend is explosive and destructive simple as that.

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....

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.

what wrong did I say about Indians? and their sentiments in this regard? and please do not bring this slaughter thing in discussion here after all even Indian Hindus slaughtered minority members just for eating beef or keeping beef or on mere suspicion of having beef.

Now read with your Muslim phobia, I support Indian sentiments in this flag issue. West has no issue with using flags as underwear but people in this part of the world still having strong emotions for national flags.

I agree, Completely

Yes, and India is now Muslimfrei, all are slaughtered.

Now read with your Muslim phobia

Peddle your phobia mania elsewhere. The fear is justified. A 800 year history has had enough lessons.

West has no issue with using flags as underwear but people in this part of the world still having strong emotions for national flags.

Canada is West. There can be no comparison between the Indian response to this matter and the 'Muslims' that you mentioned before. There is a huge difference. Hence my comparison, in kind.

Yes, and India is now Muslimfrei, all are slaughtered.

It's funny how they still grind over one incident like some messiah & thinks who eats beef are killed.
On the other side beefs are sold openly while people are minding own business.

Amazon selling doormats with Indian flag ‘unacceptable’, Swaraj demands apology


Amazon selling doormats with Indian flag ‘unacceptable’, Swaraj demands apology
INDIA Updated: Jan 11, 2017 20:54 IST

Indian flag-themed doormats in the seller’s Canadian site terming the matter as “unacceptable” and demanded an “unconditional apology” from the e-commerce giant.

The incident was brought to notice of Swaraj on Twitter to which she said all the products insulting the Indian flag should be immediately withdrawn.

She also threatened that inaction will lead to revoking of visas of Amazon officials and not granting further visa to the company people.

She sought the intervention of the Indian High Commission in Canada and asked the matter to be taken up at the highest level.


The doormats featured on the site were described as “Personalised Durable Machine-Washable Indoor/Outdoor” items and featured a stylised version of the tricolour. They were available on Amazon.ca’s marketplace from the vendor XLYL.

XLYL also lists similar doormats featuring the flags of countries such as the United Kingdom and the United States.

The troubling listings for the doormat with the Indian flag were posted on Facebook by Phoenix-based Ratnesh Mishra

Nice move. Time to tell Goras what we think about things.
No matter what, I will support that decision by Indian govt.

The beef ban is now a joke. Muslims openly slaughter cows in Mumbai and hang them in Byculla. Right off the station roads. The police is too afraid to touch them(more likely) or perhaps they have taken bribes. A Hindu killing a Muslim is an exception. Hence the news. The opposite is the norm.

I totally know about what Pakistanis feel about Hindus and Hinduism.

I have no issue with the image of the flag, read my previous post carefully again. I don't mind the Amazon product on a personal level. I would just not buy it. If gifted, I would frame it and hang it on the wall.

Firstly to those who are crying freedom of expression if it it is their freedom of expression to make doormats out of flags then it is also our freedom of expression to protest against the same. We are not being voilent and not blowing up Amazon offices or slitting the throats of the Amazon workers

Secondly to those who are crying about Sushma Swaraj's Visa Denial threat It should be known that Visa is NOT a right. It is given at the pleasure of the host country and we have every right to refuse or revoke the visa

Thirdly to those stating Their Country Their Rules even Canadian Rules forbid insult to National Flag

Dignity of the Flag
The National Flag of Canada should be displayed only in a manner appropriate for this important national symbol; it should not be subjected to dishonour or displayed in a position inferior to any other flag or ensign. The National Flag always takes priority over all other national flags when flown in Canada. The only flags that are given priority over the Canadian flag are the personal standards of members of the Royal Family and of Her Majesty’s eleven representatives in Canada.

The National Flag of Canada should always be flown on its own mast ; flag protocol states that it is improper to fly two or more flags on the same mast (for example, one beneath the other). The following points should be kept in mind:

• the National Flag of Canada should not be used as a table or seat cover, as a masking for boxes or as a barrier on a stage or platform;
• it is not common practice to use the National Flag of Canada to cover a statue, monument or plaque for an unveiling ceremony, and should be discouraged;
• nothing should be pinned to or sewn on the National Flag of Canada; and
• the National Flag of Canada should not be signed or marked in any way. A border could be attached to its outside edge, which can be marked while leaving the Flag itself untouched.

Granted these rules are stated for the Candian Flag but then it is Common Diplomatic Courtsey that you will not allow direspect to other country flags which you will not allow to your own flag

Did you just compare slaughtering of a cow for meat consumption to a murder of a fellow human being ? It's you who's the joke here, Not to mention despicable
