Een kledingszaak in het land van de heilige dieren heeft een foute naam voor hun onderneming gekozen, "Hitler"...

De eigenaar wist niet wie Hitler was, hij heeft zopas een beetje over Adolf kunnen lezen, dit dankzij het internet.

Daily Mail - Jewish groups in India urge owners of HITLER clothing store to change shop's name

<sub>- Proprietor says he only recently read about Hitler online
- Rajesh Shah claims the shop is named after his business partner's grandfather




A men’s clothing store in India is being asked to change its name after the chosen 'Hitler' unsurprisingly upset the local community.

Proprietor Rajesh Shah claims he was unaware that the name may cause offence as it derives from a nickname given to his business partner’s grandfather.

The ‘Hitler’-store has provoked outrage among residents and the small Jewish community in Achmedabad in the Gujarat province.

Mr Shah says no harm was intended when they named the shop.

‘Frankly, until the time we applied for the trademark permission, I had only heard that Hitler was a strict man, he told the Times of India. ‘It was only recently that we read about Hitler on the internet.’

He says Hitler was a nickname given to his business partner Manish Chandani's grandfather due to the man’s strict nature and has nothing to do with the German dictator.

But local Jews disagree and say the owners knew exactly what the name meant.

...

After a visit by Jews from the local synagogue expressing their concern, Mr Shah has said he is willing to change the name but only if he is compensated as he and his business partner has run out of money.

Mr Shah claims all their funding of 40,000 rupee ( £454) had been spent on signs, business cards and advertising for ‘Hitler’ and that someone would have to pay for the re-branding of the clothes shop.

Ik meen me te herinneren dat Ghandi een fan was van Mussolini.

Hitler heeft tegenwoordig toch een grote aanhang in Indië?
Een Indische politieker heeft gezegd dat hij volledig met Hitler akkoord ging als de Joden vervangen werden door Moslims.

Zo blijkt, maar ik kan in verband met die politieker niets terugvinden. U wel ?

Volgende kan mss het een en ander verklaren.

Sommigen zouden Hitler dankbaar zijn voor hun onafhankelijkheid.

Bloombergbusinessweek - Hitler Has a Following in India
6 december 2012

Hero Hitler in Love, a Punjabi comedy about a man with an explosive temper, and the Hindi film Gandhi to Hitler, a sympathetic portrait of the dictator’s last days (Gandhi once wrote to the Führer), came out last year. A soap opera, Hitler Didi—or “big sister Hitler”—is a hit. Bal Thackeray, the leader of a far-right Hindu party who recently died, professed admiration for Hitler.

Unlike in some parts of Europe such as Russia and Austria, where Mein Kampf has been embraced by the extreme right, Hitler’s popularity in India is not the result of anti-Semitism, says Navras Jaat Aafreedi, a professor of social sciences at Gautam Buddha University in New Delhi. He says it stems from a dearth of European history classes in schools. To the extent that German history is taught, he says, it’s in the context of “the view that had Hitler not weakened the British Empire by the Second World War, the British would have never voluntarily left India.” The country’s Jewish community—some 5,300 people—is one of a few in the world to have never been persecuted by their countrymen, he says.

Solomon Sopher, president of the Baghdadi Jewish community in Mumbai, agrees: “We have never been persecuted by any caste or creed. Not even by the Muslims.” He adds that Indians are prone to “hero worship” of strong military leaders. “Lack of examples of strong leadership in India leads the Indian youth to admire Hitler,” explains Aafreedi.

...


That may explain why Mein Kampf, the dictator’s memoir, sells briskly in Mumbai and is printed by at least 13 publishers in India, according to Economic & Political Weekly. Mein Kampf is also becoming a must-read for some business schools applicants. “Each year, when I sit for admission interviews, there [are] books that are mentioned as favorite reads” by applicants, says Uma Narain, a professor at S.P. Jain Institute of Management & Research. “This year, many referred to Mein Kampf.”

There was plenty more too: much of it inspired by the failed artist who became Germany’s führer. After all, only weeks before the riots erupted, Thackeray said this about the führer’s famous autobiography: “If you take Mein Kampf and if you remove the word Jew and put in the word Muslim, that is what I believe in.”
