Why punish the wearer and not the manufacturer?
by Ramesh Kapoor on Apr 29, 2007 09:23 PM   Permalink | Hide replies

It is not the question of who wore the saree, but who made it. Was it only one unitary saree, or there are many more in the market? Let us examine this issue closely, and not execute someone for the sake of some pride. How many Union Jacks, Stars and Stripes, have been made into panties and other underwears, and we have not heard any criticism or any outrage over the issue. As someone said on this board, people trample the Indian flag, others while holding commit all sorts of crimes, and yet try to be loyal to the flag. The question is, is the fabric of the country or the fabric of a piece of cloth more important?

UNlike pants or shirts,
Saree can be worn in any way.

May be the flags were placed based on the performance of the Teams in this world cup. Obviously she depicted our position very low. Although wished she wore it closer to the heart. Just surprising that what ever these so called celebraties do catch attention and attarcts controvercy.
