It has come to our attention
that US-based company Monarch Beverages is withdrawing its current advertisements
for an energy drink featuring a distorted image of Lord Shiva from every
market. This follows a HHR campaign to highlight how many Hindus have
found this and other such abuses of our religious symbols to be highly
questionable. We would like to thank all the Hindus who have helped
us with this issue and put pressure on the companies concerned. We welcome
the decision of Monarch Beverages to put an end to these adverts but
would like other companies to follow suite and refrain from using Hindu
symbols to sell their products.
