Nah... India is a country of mostly vegans from time immemorial. Judging 
from the size of the population, they never seems to have baby death 
issues.

Someone I know did see an issue with all those Buddha Bars (and 
pubs) popping up here and there and on music CDs. She actually went with a 
campaign when the first Buddha Bar opened in Singapore that eventually saw 
that pub changing their image (to Thai Bar or something). When someone 
told her "nah... relax..." her response was "well, you will never see a 
Mohammed Bar around, so why double-standard?" I can't wait to tell her 
that here in the country of free speech, there are certain words persons 
of a particular race can use freely but not others.
