Amazon.com removes leggings showing Hindu gods after protests

Amazon.com, world’s largest online retailer headquartered in Seattle (USA), has removed the women’s leggings carrying images of various Hindu gods and goddesses from its website within 24 hours after Hindus protested.
Hindu cleric Rajan Zed, who spearheaded the protest, thanked Amazon.com for understanding the concerns of Hindu community, which thought images of Hindu gods and goddesses on leggings were highly inappropriate.


Amazon.com website had removed 11 leggings priced at $48-52 each and carrying images of Ganesha, Shiva, Brahma, Vishnu, Muruga, Bajrang Bali (Hanuman), Rama, Radha-Krishna, Kali, etc. when checked on October 14 late evening. Hindu devotees had vociferously objected to these leggings.
