Indian Flag v. US Dollar - The lesser known facts

Vs.

Remember last year’s ‘Amazon selling Slippers with Indian Flag themes on it’ which were boycotted by Sushma Swaraj controversy?

If not, then go through this Sushma Swaraj demands apology from Amazon for selling doormats with Indian flag

There were slippers, shoes and many other products themed with indian flags on it up for sale on Amazon’s site.

Some random person retweeted to Sushma Swaraj and the minister of external affairs demanded amazon to remove all those products with Indian flag as it’s themes and also demanded an apology from Amazon and if denied by Amazon she also threatened them that no further visas will be issued to amazon officials and the issued visas will be cancelled. India being a huge market, Amazon took the matter with utmost concern and removed all those products from all its websites and apologized.

Here, Our national flag was protected from disrespect.

But did you check the ‘Commando 2′(an Indian movie) poster which was released right about the same time?

It had the male lead Vidyut Jamwal running/sprinting on the US currency notes.

I am sure nobody bothered about that poster. But would we not have boycotted that poster if it had Vidyut sprinting on Indian Currency notes or Indian Flag in place of the US Dollar?

If we respect our things, we should also respect others.

US doesn’t mind if some website sells underwears with US national flags as the theme. But if we mind some website like amazon disrespecting our national flag then we should also not disrespect other’s national property.
