Online shopping platform Amazon is facing the wrath of Indian customers after images of products bearing religious prints were found to be selling on Amazon.com. The e-commerce website is selling doormats, yoga mats, and toilet seat covers bearing pictures of Hindu Gods like Lord Shiva, Lord Ganesha and Lord Buddha. This is not the first time the online retail site has committed a major mistake and offended the Indians. Thus #BoycottAmazon has become a trend on Twitter and users are putting up screenshots, images and links of other such offending products that are being sold online. People are also deleting their application from their phones altogether. Indian Map Shown Incorrect By Amazon!

Back in December 2018, Amazon was slammed for selling doormats, rugs and toilet accessories which had the imagery of the revered Golden Temple. The disrespectful products hurt the sentiments of the Sikh communities worldwide and Amazon received a lot of backlashes. The products were immediately taken off their site. But once again, such offending imagery of religious things are seen selling on Amazon.
