The views and opinions expressed here are the commentators' own and do not reflect the official position of Atheist Republic.
A Hindu organization, Universal Society of Hinduism, has stated concerns about Peabody Essex Museum (PEM), a museum in Salem, Massachusetts selling plush toys portraying three Hindu deities in an "insensitive" way. "Lord Krishna, Lord Ganesh, and Lord Hanuman were greatly revered in Hinduism and were meant to be worshiped in temples or home shrines and not to be thrown around loosely on the floor, bathrooms, cars, etc." said Rajan Zed, president of the Universal Society of Hinduism. After protests from the organization, on October 18th, PEM removed the toys featuring the deities. PEM should learn more about religious and cultural sensitivity, Zed suggested. The toys were manufactured by a company based in New Jersey and founded by an Indian-American family. Avani Modi Sarkar, co-founder of the multicultural toy business Modi Toys, said in a statement that these were made with the intention to spark curiosity in Hindu culture and heritage.
