We specifically wanted to explore how the theme had been interpreted across the world. It was certainly not the intention to offend<BR/>the Hindu community.<BR/><BR/>We apply a rigorous research process to all our stamp development and in this instance we sought and acted on the advice we were given. With hindsight we now recognise that we should have consulted further and we are<BR/>currently reviewing these processes in order to improve and reinforce them.<BR/><BR/>In recognition of the potential sensitivities we have asked the Post Office® branches to offer the standard 68p stamp and only offer the 68p Christmas stamp if it is requested specifically. No further stocks of the 68p Christmas stamps will be distributed to Post Office® branches.<BR/><BR/>We would therefore like to offer our sincerest apologies for any upset that the publication of these stamps may have inadvertently caused. We would<BR/>also like to remind you that there are alternative 68p stamp designs<BR/>available.<BR/><BR/>Yours sincerely<BR/>Caroline Chaplin<BR/><BR/>Royal Mail Headquarters<BR/><BR/>Royal Mail is a trading name of Royal Mail Group plc.

The Indian Man and Woman are supposed to be Joseph and Mary holding the baby Jesus. I would think that Indian Christians would be more upset considering that the depiction pictures Joseph and Mary as a Hindu couple.<BR/><BR/>I think the Hindu Forum in Britain should be sued for the protest.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7813749.post-1131032693920516442005-11-03T21:14:00.000+05:302005-11-03T21:14:00.000+05:30How Sabarimala is getting evangelised by Christist...How Sabarimala is getting evangelised by Christist terrorists, well funded by the fanatics:<BR/><BR/>http://www.haindavakeralam.org/PageModule.aspx?PageID=79&SKIN=KAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
