Heard of Kali-Ma beer? Nobody had, till the Rajya Sabha brought it up for discussion today. A demand was made in RS today that US Ambassador to India be summoned and asked to apologise for a beer named after Goddess Kali. Ravi Shankar Prasad (BJP) said it is a serious and sensitive issue that a Portland-based company Burnside Brewing has launched a product titled Kali-Ma beer, hurting the sentiments of Indians.


"The advertisement for the beer read 'Come worship the black one Kali as the ultimate reality or Brahman' ... with a picture of the Goddess. Earlier also a picture of Goddess Laxmi was displayed in a toilet...picture of God was put on
bra...Lord Ganesha was displayed as a sex object in a talk show," he said demanding India to take up the issue with US.
