An Indian company has withdrawn the name "The Nazi Collection" from its new line of bedspreads following widespread objections from the Indian Jewish community. The company's owner apologized to community leaders and said it had no intentions of offending them.
Indian Jewish Federation chairman Jonathan Solomon said the company promised not to use the word Nazi in the future. Company owner Jagdish Todi stated, "We sincerely regret our action in proposing such an obnoxious name as 'Nazi Collection' for our products."
The swastika symbol, which was appropriated by the Nazis, was originally an ancient Hindu symbol and is displayed all over India to bring luck.
