Guest guest Posted January 28, 2004 Report Share Posted January 28, 2004 Dear All, The other day I was walking in "Dillards" store and was surprised to see a brand of handbags "Brahmin". I think this violation of the holy name of this subsect of Hinduism should be condemned. I am trying to find means and ways to communicate to the company for using that word. For me, I think it is my dharma to protect my religion and its constituents. I am more afraid becuase if tomorrow that becomes a big brand, the westerners would identify it with bags rather than what it actually stands for, as we know how little general knowledge the Westerners possess about the outside world. Help me to think rationally and let me know if you think I am acting in a reactionary manner rather than thinking logically. And if anyone has any suggestions about how I/or we(whoever is ready to join me in this battle) communicate to the company, please feel free to write back to me Let me know what you think.

Guest guest Posted January 28, 2004 Report Share Posted January 28, 2004 Dear Sai, I do not think you are reactionary. Could you not send a protest letter to the manufacturer? Chandrashekhar.

Guest guest Posted January 29, 2004 Report Share Posted January 29, 2004 I do not think that you are overreacting, but have you noticed that there are so many things named "Brahma" as well. Go to and search for "Brahma" and you will see. There are many Japanese video games using hindu God names and their drawings as game characters. It hurts, but how much are you going to protest? The law does not prohibit them to use any names. Regards, Devika.
