    Sick Ghandi's beef with beef

    http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/a...ow/1148799.cms

    Mahatma Gandhi will not sell beef
    Raja Bose

    AHMEDABAD: Gandhi is not selling "beef vindaloo" anymore. After a furore in India over the Mahatma's caricature and name being used to sell a range of non-vegetarian food by a take-away chain in Australia, Handi Ghandi Pvt Ltd, the company has changed its logo and admitted in its website that "no offence was intended."

    A storm was kicked up when the Mahatma's great grandson Tushar Gandhi wrote to Prime Minister Manmohan Singh, asking him to take up the matter with the Australian government and stop the New South Wales-based company from abusing the Mahatma's memory.

    An Indian based in Sydney brought the issue to the notice of Tushar Gandhi propellign him to action. He found that Gandhi's name was being used to sell dishes like 'Beef Madras', 'beef vindaloo', 'lamb rogan josh', 'chicken korma' and 'Bombay fish'. Handi Ghandi's earlier logo had a sketch of Mahatma Gandhi holding a takeaway of curry with the catchline 'Handi Ghandhi: Great curries - No worries.

    Handi Ghandi ? Unique in thought.

    I will never understand why some people on Apolyton find you so clever. You're predictable, mundane, and a google-whore and the most observant of us all know this. Your battles of "wits" rely on obscurity and whenever you fail to find something sufficiently obscure, like this, you just act like a 5 year old. Congratulations, molly.

    Oh really? Is the name of the company "Hhandi Ghandi"? I would think "Handhi Gandhi" would be better.

    I usually spell it Ganhdi, personally. I also spell Shiva as Sivah normally, and aneeshm as Hamesen.
