What's in a name?
by Subhadeep on Aug 23, 2006 10:52 PM

Why not? If the food is good, I absolutely would. Do Europeans think twice before they buy thongs and slippers with Hindu religious symbols on them? And what's with this whole Hitler thing? There have been equally vile, if not worse personalities in history. Why is the massacre of jews THE holocaust? What about the millions killed during the partition of the Indian subcontinent? What about the millions killed in Rwanda? What about the millions killed in the Balkans? Oh, I forgot, they don't have the propaganda machine of Israel behind them. And before this post is taken to mean belittling Hitler's atrocities, I would like to point out that it's not just about the name of a restuarant. Ours is a free country. Let's put things in perspective. Let's not turn it into Europe where questioning the statistics of the jewish massacre by Hitler can land you in jail. If people like the food and the name, business will flourish, else it will die a natural death. Let people and the market decide. Let's put the idea of banning books and movies and restuarant names behind us.
