I think that Indians, specifically Hindus, tend to be more self-deprecating than other cultures and honestly have no qualms about a few jokes here and there. If it was written by a Hindu, there’s all the more reason to let it pass.

Has anyone ever read “Kumarasambham” by Kalidasa. It sensuously describes the relationship between Shiva and Parvathi without being crude. And this is the Kalidasa we’re talking about. So, people tend to let it go.

I’ll be honest and say I don’t get the reference, though. What’s the message their trying to get across?

He’s just being charming, We all know the Hillary really is an Obama Girl.

I saw your hyperlinks. I have no problem about the yellow-bronze-coloured Shiva. At least he’s jumping on a demon that’s also yellow colour. Usually, it’s a blue-eyed, brown-haired “good guy” killing a dark-skinned, black haired “bad guy.”

Your second picture depicted a black granite Shiva. Excellent.

Finally, the third pic showed a blue-skinned Shiva with blue-eyes.

Oh yeah, Hindu gods are lactose-tolerant, but the vast majority of Indians are lactose-intolerant. Another example of Europeanization of Hindus and “racial superiorization” of whites for Hindus.

hmm well i agree entirely with bostonmahesh…off late i think these bloddy hindus have developed an inferiority complex abt yellow skin as well…..pour example, the yellow skinned shiva http://www.craftsinindia.com/products/nataraja_statue.html and another entirely seperate inferiority complex abt dark skin….hence this “black colored” shiva- http://www.lotussculpture.com/bronze_sculpture_online_store.htm and off course we hav our inferiority comples abt not havin blue skin-http://www.universaluv.com/universalUV%20website/Painting%20Main%20Page/Shiva.htm and i cud probably find a shiva n every other color u cud think off but seriously i think this is more than enuff
