The February issue of the magazine MATRIX displays a muscular man knocking down mahatma gandhi. This comic book style article runs for several pages. The very first picture shows mahatma gandhi (who is refered variously as putz etc.) in a namaste position while the muscular man flexes his muscle depicting perhaps superiority over the peace loving iconic eastern figure. It appears in some sense to ridicule our eastern culture- Nepal being part of the culture. The issue literally makes fun of peace lovers. I know that the Indian's sued the mac sometime back regarding the mixing of veg. and non-veg. burgers or something. Is any action being taken against the magazine? Aparently No. It appears that the magazine was let go with a simple insincere apology. http://www.indiacause.com/C17_Maxim_Gandhi.htm I believe that only a lawsuit will take the maxim to task. BTW let me inform the sajhites that the maxim magazine is a worthless piece of junk unworthy of our notice. Except when they try to take liberty of us. |

Biruwa, heard about that new animated series on MTV? Its called Clone high and is about bringing legendary peoples to modern world via cloning. Its a comedy serial and features Lincoln, Cleopatra etc along with Mahatma Gandhi. There was an episode where Gandhi and Licoln kiss each other. Just FYI. |
