Netizens furious as Amazon sells ‘obscene’ Radha-Krishna painting
By MYBRANDBOOK
Soon after e-commerce giant, Amazon started selling a painting of Radha-Krishna, Hindu Janajagruti Samiti requested action against it calling it “obscene" and Boycott Amazon’ trending on Twitter.
The Hindu Janajagruti Samiti submitted a memorandum requesting action against Amazon to Bengaluru’s Subramanya Nagar police station. The controversial painting was also being sold at Exotic India website as part of Janmashtami sale.
The painting was being sold by Bengaluru-based seller Inkologie on Amazon.
After the hashtag uproar, the Hindu organisation later claimed in a tweet that the painting had been withdrawn by both Amazon and Exotic India.
Exotic India also tweeted out an apology, writing, “It was brought to our notice that an inappropriate image was uploaded on our website. The same was brought down immediately. We sincerely apologise, Pls dont #Boycott_ExoticIndia #boycott_exoticlndia… Hare Krsna [sic]".
One Twitter user claimed: “This is a Kangra painting of the Gita Govinda. 1780. There are hundreds more from the same time. Have you even read the Gita Gobinda? You must have, as an “unapologetic Hindu". Excerpts below. Please ask the government to ban Jayadeva."
A statement from Amazon over the matter is still awaited.
