How to offend Indian sensibilities (reprise)

Written By: amodini - Jan• 17•08

Have you heard ? Muslim fundies have been offended yet again ! From Mid-day :

“The All India Ulema Council (AIUC), an umbrella organisation of Muslims, is ‘shocked’ that the Godrejs gave a warm welcome to Salman Rushdie in Mumbai last week.”

. . . .

“The AIUC has demanded an apology from Godrej chairman Adi Godrej yesterday, failing which they will boycott all Godrej products in India.”

Oh, yes ! How dare Ms. Godrej possibly invite to a private party, any person who could potentially offend any other person ? Hmm ? Hmmm ?

If you’d like a refresher course on the “art of offending Indian sensibilities”, do please read my earlier post, here.
