A business named “Big Dick Energy Coaching” whose website is registered with address located in Surrey, BC, Canada used Lord Ganesha’s image as logo with the name of their company name. Hindu Community called it a live case of cultural appropriation which hurt their sentiments.

Canada is a multicultural society, and no one has the right to disrespect anyone’s faith, belief, or religion. This has been enacted in the Canadian Multiculturalism Act adopted in 1988 and clearly acknowledges multiculturalism as the fundamental characteristic of Canadian society.

A petition is started by India Cultural Association (ICA) Of Vancouver urging the business to stop using inappropriate words “Big Dick” right under the image of the Hindu deity Lord Ganesha. Visit change.org to sign the petition.
