A post for Nicole that ties in nicely with the one immediately previous but has nothing to do with undies.

Snooping around for more religious outrage at modern “fashion”, ater the Hindu undies outrage, I found this Times of India article from May 2005.

A pair of women’s shoes allegedly showing Lord Rama made by French shoemaker Minelli has angered a pro-Hindu website, which has urged supporters to begin a letter-writing campaign to the shoemaker protesting against the product.

“It has come to the notice of Hindu Human Rights Group that you are currently marketing shoes with the pictures of our sacred and highly revered Hindu god Lord Rama printed on them,” said a letter sent to Minelli by Web-based activist group Hindu Human Rights Group (www.hinduhumanrights.org) .

“We wish to point out to you that Lord Rama thus illustrated is actually worshipped by millions of Hindus across the world. It stands to reason that such a display of contempt for the spiritual beliefs and practices of a billion Hindus worldwide is causing a sense of fury and outrage in the Hindu community and we have received numerous complaints from Hindus in France.”

I dedicate this post to Nicole because Hinduism is what she is studying and she likes shoes. She does not have three legs. Being a post-grad, we can assume she can identify which of the three shoes does not belong with the other two.
