President of the South African Hindu Dharma Sabha, Ram Maharaj, described the depiction of the goddess on the range as totally unacceptable.

"It is insensitive and offensive and can easily inflame religious hostility and division. It is these types of irresponsible and insensitive acts purely for commercial gain that do harm to interfaith harmony and social cohesion.

“Harm has already been done by the fact that someone had even thought of this diabolical scheme to make money. Hindu-bashing has become an international phenomenon because Hindus are regarded as servile and docile. We Hindus are not going to be that way anymore. We are going to be lions and not lambs. We are not going to tolerate any of these unwarranted assaults on our religion.”

AV Mahomed, chief trustee of the Grey Street Mosque and a member of the Durban Interfaith committee, said no human being had the right to violate any religion. “It’s incumbent on all human beings to respect one another.”

Professor Brij Maharaj, president of the Shree Sanathan Dharma Sabha of SA, derided the violation of scriptures and the denigration of any faith.

“To a Western consumer market, the ‘exotic’ East is enchanting, and it would appear that everything from India is being packaged and marketed for sale. However, religion and spirituality are not for sale.”

Fashion designer Nadine Pillay said the fact that it was on a swimwear range “angered people more”

Well, if these fashion designers push it too far, we shouldn’t be surprised if a radical group of fundamentalist hindus dressed as cows and rats destroys the Taj Mahal by crashing a giant hijacked chicken korma into it…

it’s a pity that the hindu fraternity has joined the fray as well. i had allways given them respect because they didnt get involved in the hubbub.
