A spokesman for India’s foreign ministry said Amazon had already taken action.
"Our Mission in Ottawa took up the matter with Amazon Canada," Ministry of External Affairs spokesman Vikas Swarup said in a text message. "They are no longer selling that item."
They take the flag and symbols of national identity suuuuuuper seriously in India. It's only been their flag for ~60 years (I think they became fully independent in 1947 or 1048) and as the relatively young symbol of a recently-independent country, people are fiercely loyal to it.
Also in Hinduism your feet aren't supposed to touch certain things. Like if you put your foot on a book it's a major sin. So there is a spiritual aspect as well
Nah, things are heating up with Pakistan and every little thing they can to ramp up nationalism is being done. Haven't you seen the news lines about the national anthem being played before every movie in India? They are also just out of touch with western norms and vice versa. Heard many people in India asked respond how would we like it if they used an American flag doormat. Not knowing that's a common thing.
Funnily enough, there's a pretty in-depth conversation about H1Bs deeper in the twitter threads...the consensus among IndianTwitter is that Trump is going to end H1Bs and also the flag is more important anyway.
What's also surprising is just how many of these people think the average working schmuck at Amazon has any say or influence over the products Amazon carries.
Hundreds of millions of people living in abject poverty shitting in the streets, but this is clearly the number one priority right now. What a bunch of retards.
Amazingly, there was no similar response from the Ministry of External Affairs when someone printed the Indian flag on toilet paper. Likely due to ignorance of its use.
India is extremely touchy on disrespecting the Indian flag so I'd get the outrage over it but the law applies only if the offender is in India so I really don't get it why they're getting mad at AmazonIn which is a separate entity itself.
Also the fucking retarded responses is giving me cancer. Why are Indian twitter nationalists born from mother's who did meth.
I just told that bitch to stop bitching about a door mat while tens of millions of humans go without clean water in her piece of shit, shit water country.

"If this is not done forthwith, we will not grant Indian Visa to any Amazon official. We will also rescind the Visas issued earlier."
Poor Amazonians.

Agreed, merely a gesture, but one that worked. Amazon has removed the flag.

So why are people so pissed over this? Sounds like a rather stupid thing to be up in arms about

Ah yes, thank for your adding that.
I really like the real estate agent in there who is explaining the same thing to other confused white folks. Dude looks like he's 45 and from Cape Girardeau, MO, not the kind of person you'd see on twitter gently teaching other people about Hinduism.

I have gathered that Indian nationalism is fomented to try and suppress ethnic & religious nationalisms?

Guess she's going to block all the H1B's from coming home too then? I'm sure Amazon's got more than a few of those working for them.
