As an Indian, I feel offended by the first illustration. Taj Mahal is our national pride and photoshopping a bitcoin on top of Taj Mahal is the most insensitive thing the author could have done.

If somebody photoshopped a bitcoin on the Statue of Liberty, I don't give a damn.

  Well you're not okay because you;re insensitive to these things, but there are other people who like the person above who will be offended obviously and you should cater to them. "I'm not insensitive therefore others shouldn't too" is too lame of a reason. for example, surprisingly some people find rape okay (victim blaming etc) but doesn't mean it's okay for everyone. Just saying.

I'm an Indian. I don't give a crap about photoshop. What you should really feel offended by is the actual harms being done to the monument.

  You're probably a shitty Indian then. I'd love to photoshop you naked and post it perhaps all over the internet and see you say the same thing. (I'm not going to do it of course, but just saying)

  As a non-Indian, I'm somewhat offended by the technical deficiency of the photoshop (they couldn't even be bothered to take care of the reflecting pool?) and the (imho) subpar analysis in the article itself.

Sikhs in India consider the Taj Mahal a symbol of national oppression not pride.

  What specific grouse do Sikhs have against the Taj Mahal?

-1. As an Indian, I feel offended by your (implicit) expectation that others should censor themselves because of your arbitrary ideas about what's insensitive and/or offensive.

Oh please. Don't even get me started on the abuse of labeling things 'offensive' and 'insensitive'. Also, please don't say 'Taj Mahal' is 'our' national pride. It is just a historical monument, which doesn't represent anything related to modern India.

I am Indian too. I am offended that you are offended by something so trivial. Please get offended by the masses of hungry children or by the massive robbery that is being committed in daylight.
