It's high time Hindu organizations join to propose a law that pictures/images/idols/names etc. of Hindu deities can only be used when granted approval by official bodies representing Hindus, or else it will be a punishable act! Today, anybody can make use of the pictures of the Hindu deities for whatever (commercial or denigrating or offending) reason!

I totally agree with sanja that a law should be passed in the parliament whereby anybody who wants to use the symbols/ pictures / names etc. should take permission from the official body.
I think we should hindus are being taken very lightly by the govt as well as by other religions.
Let us all unite and teach them a lesson.
