Protest : Online retailer Pepperfry.com misusing Hindu Deities for financial gains

Magh Krushnapaksha 13, Kaliyug Varsha 5116

Devout Hindus complained about many products on Pepperfry.com that are denigrating Hindu Deities, to Hindu Janajagruti Samiti (HJS). HJS promptly sent a letter to Pepperfry.com to create awareness about the denigration of the Deities. The products are still available at following links (2 images are given here for understanding denigration) :

9. Handecor Ganesha Door Handle (http://www.pepperfry.com/two-moustaches-ganesha-door-handle-1114342.html?pos=8:4)

HJS tried to make Pepperfry.com aware that as per Dharmashastra and spiritual science, the images of Ganapati, Krishna that are being showcased in their products do no conform to either the Science of Spirituality or the Scriptures. Further, these images on everyday materials like door handles, wall clocks etc. amount to denigration and are an offense as per Indian Penal Code section 295A.

Even after protest letter by Hindu Janajagruti Samiti, we have not received any reply from Pepperfry.com or their parent company Trendsutra Platform Services Pvt Ltd and hence we are starting this protest campaign. Now we appeal all devout Hindus to protest lawfully against Pepperfry.com so that it should remove all defamatory products and also it should render unconditional apology to Hindus for hurting their religious sentiments. If Pepperfry.com does not remove these products, then all Hindus should completely boycott this website.
