Online Stores: Amazon in Trouble

Indian flag has become marketable symbol on T-Shirts, Caps, Bags,Pencils, Books and almost all stationary objects we use day to day But Amazon Online stores printing Indian flag on door mats at Canada Marts has created online agitation on Amazon and finally Amazon has withdrawn the door mats. read more...Indian Flag Disrespected.
Disrespect to Indian Flag: Courtesy Prajavani
While USA and Canada have no objection for printing their country flags even in inner wears,
Amazon an american based company has not understood Indian constitution and regulations and emotions still! Today American flags are printed even on inner garments, most probably they are matured enough to treat all parts of body equally, We Indians still have not come out of our traditional thinking, and for us Different parts of body have different sanctity, our Manu Smriti oldest scripture tells: " Brahmin is born from Mouth, Kshatriya is born from Hands, Vaisha is born out of Thighs and Shudra from Feet! So Even our Constitution treats House mats as the filthy piece of cloth at house that is used to clean your feet, which is equivalent to 'SHUDRA' the least respected community in Varna Ashrama hierarchy.
USA Flag on T-shirt

USA Flag on inner wear!

My appeal to Amazon like multinational company is to study Indian way of thinking and way of life, before releasing any products with Indian God or Goddess or National emblems, As we are globalised people with still lot of traditional mind set or some of us would like to call it as values. We are value based society where Woman is treated as Mother, But ironically she is treated inhumanly too on streets. It is better for any Multinational company to do research on our traditions along with Market Research!

On contrary Many of my friends might also argue, Americans are not as Cultured as we Indians are that is why they have not learnt to give respect to national flags, while we are more civilised society.
arguments apart, current Indian govt. will definitely take swift actions on such incidences as it is known for cultural values of this nation since its inception as a party in this nation!
Amazon should have understood that we Indians will not wear footwear inside Temples, House and any private places. So How can our we assimilate Foot-Mat made of our flag!
