JESUS STAMP AXED
A 68p Christmas stamp has been withdrawn after Hindus claimed it was offensive.
The stamp depicts the Virgin Mary with traditional Hindu markings on her forehead worshipping the baby Jesus.
Royal Mail said stocks of the stamp bearing the 17th century painting from Mumbai, India, will run out in three days and only be available on request.<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->
Finally something good happened, UK Hindus are showing the way and are ahead in Hindu activism more than any country, Hindus in other countries need to follow suit, it really is surprising that Hindus in India are the most servile (they couldn't even do anything about m.f hussains paintings) while the diaspora Hindus (especially in UK) are moving ahead.
