An Indian Flag Printed Onto A Doormat Is Being Sold On Amazon. Very Disrespectful!

The Indian flag is a sacred symbol of independence. It invokes a sense of immense pride in the heart of every patriot.
The tricolour is a reminder of the incredible struggle and unparalleled sacrifice made by the leaders of our fight for freedom. It’s a physical embodiment of the unshakable Indian spirit. It’s a symbol to be revered.

Therefore, it’s enraging to find the Indian being disrespected in such a manner.

A rectangular, non-slip doormat with the Indian national flag printed on the front was an actual item being sold on Amazon.

The listing has since been removed by the seller.

Apart from the Indian flag, the website also has listings of doormats made of the United States flag and its various state flags.

While a few western countries do approve of the use of their flags on clothing, mats, jackets and the like, as Indians we do not appreciate the tricolour being used as a design aesthetic. Moreover, there are strict laws in our country that restrict the Indian flag from being utilised in a demeaning manner.

We don’t think we’ll ever feel comfortable having our flag placed on the floor and being used to scrape dust off our footwear. What do you guys thing? Share your thoughts in comment below.
