Gandhi's name, image on beer bottle - petition filed against liquor firm


HYDERABAD, Jan 4(TOI): An advocate has filed a petition against New England Brewing Company in Rangareddy court accusing the firm of insulting Mahatma Gandhi by printing his images on their liquor bottles.

Advocate Janardhan Reddy said he filed the petition in the XI Metropolitan Magistrate court and the court was yet to taken a decision on the petition.

The beer brand in question is called "Gandhi-Bot", and the name was well-publicized despite many Indians living in the United States protesting against it.

The petitioner requested the court to summon the company's representatives as per section 3 (Punishment of offences committed beyond, but which by law may be tried within India) of IPC for misusing the image of the Father of Nation.

    Hey Vellano, again you are letting your imagination run too wild. Tell me when did I preach that Christian doctrine to you? Loving thy enemy and turning the other cheek doesn't mean that you should allow burglars to rob you and that's where my Hitler used to come into picture. You conveniently seem to have your original allegation on Bush's pet that he named 10 years before he became the prez. Do check your facts before making these baseless generalized allegations. Otherwise Holland becomes Scotland, Vyaasa invents diameter and following same logic Bindu invents point? and Rekha invents straight line?

    Dude, you suggest reforming the criminal...? How do you reform the sinner..? is there anywhere preached a burglar needs to be tamed using a wild dog? ... but do what you want to do man.. I understand the hypocrisy of all religious people like you..

    And Bush named the cat 10 years before he became a president.. but dude, his dad Senior Bush was already the president and already made a war on Iraq..? forgot..? He ought behave better... If Sadananda Gwoda's son or Yeddy's son make mistake you pardon him..?

    the truth is Both Bush sneior and Junior never like Middle east, Arabs, Muslims, Indians and India!... India relations improved only during Clinton time!.. Dont debate with me on these things... INDIA name is there even before Americans got independence..Ok!

    when did I say VYAASA invented Diameter, you moron? .. refer that sheet again... you seem to be harvesting my soul..! Diameter in sanskrit is named VYAASA, after Vyaasa cos, his 4 disciples divided the Veda equally and circular object can be divided via center line only using diameter...!

    Holland becomes Scotland, is genuine error ..from my side! I dont refer to google and wikipedia when writing. I write everything on my own!... and about the tax systems.. NO STATE HAS SAME TAX for years together! tell me what was tax percenetage in India in 60s? .... we used to pay upto 90% as tax! that is when black money originated... tax systems gets improved every year.. we are not paying same ta as that of 2002, the slabs vary as and when FM deems to be changed,.. Norway, Sweden, and rest of european countries used to have taxes as high as upto 70%! Just like India used to pay taxes as high as 90%! now prove me wrong! I have studied economics on my own self interest!

    and to catch the burglars, you should trust your cops, vote out congress, see burglry coming down!. never use your dog for everything!

"BUDDHA BAR" now does that make sense to you? ... for a restaurant to have nonveg food, name a AHIMSAVAADI, is distasteful in my opinion! .... so, it shows your TASTE and EGO and CONTEMPT!

    Sant Kabeer also ( a muslim by birth and raising up- though it is wrong to attribute religion to such noble men).. preached Brotherhood... love and peace... he exposed so many ills in Hinduism and kept on questioning the practices.. but even he didnt dare to raise a question on "Idolatory"... because he felt it helped all, there is a meaning in life, wrote beautiful dohe and Bhajan, even today in south india a bhajan and arathis incomplete without his Bhajans...

    Bhai Hinduism ka yahi funda hai! "tera rasta tera... mera rasta mera.. tujhe bhi bhagwan prapt ho... aur mujhe mere tareek se".. I hope others stop judging Hindus as' IDOL WORSHIP is sin!.... yes, if you think brotherhood and peace and serving community is important, preach that... it can be done with idol worship too!..

    well.. all Vedas are basically Smriti ... and never "revealed text like Bible or Quran"... You dont even know who is author for this! but they are rich religious doctrines..

    First let me start with Rig Veda 10:129
    Who really knows, and who can swear,
    How creation came, when or where!
    Even God's came after creations day,
    Who really knows, who can truly say
    When and how did creation start?
    Did He will it? Or Did HE not?
    Only HE, up there, knows, maybe
    or perhaps, not even He"

    Vedas start with this concept!..today "big bang theory proves just that"...

    the dasha avtara of "fish, amphibian kurma, pig varaha, man/animal Narsimha, pigmy man Vamana, full blown violent man Parashuram, reformed Sri ram monogamic, mischivous polygamic Sri Krishna, nirvana calm Buddha, destructor of ill Kalki.... " this is what theory of evolution is...

    I am perfectly OK, when Yajurveda says "no image for God"! ... that is true form of devotion, where every man becomes reformed and gets up to a state where "samadhi stithi and understand moha maaya and gets one with God himself "Aham Brahmasmi"! Absolute truth!... but for dummies like us, this form is rarely achived.. hence Shankara and known saints, gave an image to concetrate, to fear, to worship!.... so, all forms are accomodated in this religion... Santana dharma...!! that is why Hinduism is a way of life.. there is nothing liek "Idam itham"- this is like this... you can go on forming your own image, for your God and pray to him!... you can alterntaively choose to be a NASTIK, non bleiver too!! No one would want to behead you for that, cos it is not a crime!...

    Only revealed text in this "Bhagwan Srikrishnas Geeta, that is in the battle ground"!! .. we dont respect it as much.. But WEST is OPEN for The GEETA and takes it as Universal truth! again I dont say follow it to anyone.. but Hinduism , it has become a way of life! :)

    Fist off, theories of evolution and big bang haven't been accepted unanimously by the entire scientific community itself. Secondly, if tomorrow these theories proven to be null and void and some new theory. Say, TOE(theory of everything is introduced, folks like you are likely to quote some outlandish verse from Veda and say 'look, it's already mentioned here centuries ago.

    if u tell god has particular image it will be termed as incapability of god as god is not able to take other images or no image at all.

    if u tell that god has no image, it will be again termed as incapability of god that he is incapable to take image.

    the real meaning of shloka in yajurveda is god is capable of being imageless or a source of light or capable to take a image
    of various proportions
    but we cannot lock god in the form or formless.

    I quote yours: There is a ayurvedic drug like alcohal called 'mritha sanjeevini' which is more stronger than 'gonkuda gangasara' or 'Kjuso soro'.Are you suggesting that these things are sold in gadangs and bars instead of pure alcohal like rum and whisky? Unquote.

    If alcohol is not sold in vine and whiskey bars from where will you get for auyruvedics from DIVINE BAANG CENTERS.

    From which gadang are you purchasing alcohol for auyrvedics dear KRPrabhuji?!
    Are you still in 20th century.
    I don’t find any Gadang in Karnataka.

    Doctors as well as most humans consume Whiskey Brandy also there is a doctor’s brandy.

    One to two peg of alcohol (whiskey, Brandy, Vine,Red vine) daily is good for health. Doctors themselves suggest to have alcohol daily one-two pegs prevents heart diseases.

    the very same ideologues do that to Prophet Muhammad too... by making a cartoon of him!.... they get a nice treatment in retaliation!.. we Hindus, only enjoy movies like PK and make it superhit! that is the whole difference in it!

    even christains take offence when a pic of Jesus christ is posted with wine and some intoxicants, in UDAYAVANI!!... dont take it just as, "oh forget it, it is just a pic"!....

    Only we, south East Asians take offence to religious satirical movies. Hollywood over the years has produced many a blasphemous movie on Christianity and none of them were banned, nor there’s been any public uproar/protest against them. In the west, they very well understand that the movies are made with the sole intention of raking in the moolah and stirring the religious emotions of public to this effect is the oldest trick in the trade and we Indians fall prey to it time and again. As for George Bush and his cat, well the cat was named after El Indio, the football player who played for Texas Rangers, owned by Bush and there was some protest in India’s high IQ state of Kerala (not my opinion!) regarding this. But India the cat remained India until she breathed her last and so did my dog Hitler!

    Indian governments however find an opporunity to appease a section with such things.. they will never let a movie go to the thetaers without showing it to Arch bishops, .. they will ban and withhold the release of da vinci code! though I feel christains will really not mind it...

    they will withheld a book written by Mathai, cos it has reference to India Gandhi in "SHE"! ...

    even here, Gandhis pic on beer can wont harm me! just like PK didnt do any damage to my beliefs... however, WEST has habit of mocking and being narscistic... those same westerners threw Gandhi out form restaurants, trains! ... because for them he was like a Dalit and they were Racist!... no matter how much Jesus preached them,they will never follow it.. get it?

    normally it is done with sadisitic pleasure.. if one doesnt eat beef, other will force same on him.. if one doesnt like alochol, put his own pic on it... if one doesnt like Peace, they will break Bamiyan buddha, to make his stone idol know what is Ahmisa... it is similar way, Bush never liked India and you never liked Hitler..! simple.. but How would I get afected with it..?

    Film PK ke bare me ek Reporter ne kuch aise sawaal kiye the jiske jawab b Amir Khan ne bade ache andaas me diya.

    Sawaal:
    1 Mandir se paise churaye Masjid se chadar kyu nahi
    2, ek seen me Sankar bhagwan ka mazak udhaya paygambar ya hussain ka bhi to roll dal sakte the
    3 sare hindu devi devtao ko La pata keh kar unke postar chipkaye kisi dusre dharm ke bhagwano ke kyu nahi
    4 Ladka Muslim, Ladki Hindu Akhir me bataya gaya Musalman ladke sachche hote hai Kya ye Love Jihad ka hissa nahi
    (or sabse bada sawal)
    5. Puri film me Amir khan ek hindu Sant ke piche pada raha kisi Qazi ke piche kyu nahi ?

    Jawaab:
    1. Duniya me Insan ko sabse jyada Jaroorat Paise ki hai Chadar ki nahi isi liye usne paise churaye
    2. Islam me Paygambar ya Hussain (a.s) ki koi Photo nahi Jo unka Roll dala ja sake or na dala ja sakta hai
    3.Islam me Allah ki koi Tasvir nahi Jo uske poster lagake uspe koi sawal uthaya ja sake
    4. Usme bataya gaya hai ke Musalman ko Jesa samjha Jata hai wo wesa nahi hai, we sachche or wafadar hai. Pehle bhot si filmo me Ladka Hindu or Ladki muslim batai gayi hai uspe hamne to kabhi Aitraz nahi kiya to apko bhi Aitarz nahi karna chahiye
    (Or sabse Bada Jawab)
    5, Muslim Samaj me koi Qazi khud ko khuda nahi kehta, sabhi Qazi Khuda ki Kitaab yani Quraan ki baate hi batate hai...

    Milan, dont go overboard in justifying by jazbaat!.... tables turn often... there are 100 others who want to make movies on other religions too.. censor chief will also change and phir lene ke dene naa pade...

    here are few questions as answer form..

    1. if you havent seen Prophet, no pics available, why oppose to cartoons by any danish artist?

    2. Does PK take a bottle of wine inside a Masjid.. was it shown? it would not have offended you..? he is driven away on the street itself..

    3. its a known fact that SHIVA is never worshipped in IDOL/HUMAN form... but ONLY LINGA ROOPI POOJAN!.. even the prostitute knows it... but alien PK never understood it..? SHiva in cultural form is mere represenation for drama/ photo etc... it is not worshippable.. but asking him for favors and chasing him , wasnt it insanity?

    4. Aamir says, God makes every one same, there is no special thappa on anyone...! if you change the dress no one identifies each other. But Aamir has overlooked one important fact.. Jews/muslims can be identified when they remove their cloths.. genital mutilation/circumcision is First part of being muslim, isnt it?

    5.. Why he makes those news reader say "ek kaum ne aaj bomb ka dhamakaa kiy.apne khuda ke liye"...? though Kuhdah is used by muslims in this movie... but whay not use a straight reference..? was he scared of islamic millitants?

    6. Which insane world belives in ALIENS and who on earth has a "SADHU's pic in her bathroom, no matter who ever that Swami could be"..? do you have arabic words inscribed in your bathrooms? No oe does!

    Aamir thinks, "wearing burqa" is the dress of muslims, like we were saree..!! it is not.. Burqa is worn on a saree... isn't it?

    btw, why he cldnt find one burqa in a dancing car..?

    how can he say going to pilgrimage is wrong and take his mother to HAJ..? the truth is he does a gimmick always!.. he knew there wld be controversy around it.. hence he wnet to HAJ when he was shooting the movie.. he made sure he went with Pakistani Shahid afridi and a converted muslim Ar rehman!... woh bahut soch ke karta hai bhai kaam! systemic way of ridiculing others faith

    What are blaming Aamir Khan for ? He’s just a paid actor, not producer/director/dialogue writer of this film and if I’m not mistaken, they all (except Khan!) are Hindus. Honestly, I've not watched this film, but going by the media reports, they’ve more than achieved their targets monetarily , which is an all time high in the history of Indian cinema with the time tested formula: More the controversy, more the money, especially in Indian context.

    When I mean Aamir it is creative team!.. just like Milan said "Aamir ne apne andaaz mein diya.. did he say, Raju Hirani thinks why not islam portrayed in bad light..?

    secondly Aamir is known for his interference and involvement in script! ...

    thirdly, business doesnt mean it is liked by all!! DRUGS income is one of the highest... does that mean it is healthy money..? people r benefitting from it? NO!

    Again, as I said, I am OK with the movie, do watch it yourself too! I am asking Aamir to highlight Points I raised in Satymvea jayate instead, as he is a social crusader!...

    I would not know that. All I know is Feroze Khan husband of Indira Priyadarshini changed his surname to 'Gandhi' by submitting a sworn affidavit in the court and hence his descendents inherited this fancy surname 'GAndhi' for vested interests. This was good enough to fool the stupid and gullible KHANgress supporters of India.

    Yes Linga, you wouldn't know all that. You also don't know that your great Maratha leader, authority of Hindutva anglicized his surname from Taakre to Thackeray. As for, Feroze Gandhi, he was a Pharsi and by surname Gandhy. Y was replaced by I for political reasons which no one denies, but the Khan twist was given by Hindu fanatics.

    The petitioner requested the court to summon the company's representatives as per section 3 (Punishment of offences committed beyond, but which by law may be tried within India) of IPC for misusing the image of the Father of Nation. If the above rule is in our Constitution than why our government not punished the people who built temple on killer of father of the nation?

    He was killed for all good that he he had done!
