In Mumbai, some entrepreneurs opened up a restaurant called 'Hitler's Cross'. When the Jewish population complained, they apologized and changed the name: they simply didnt know in detail what Hitler did and meant no offense.

Once again, John, we have a 5000 year civilization. Our history books have lots to talk about, and WW2 gets maybe two lines of comment in India school texts.

I know it's hard for your Euro-centric mind to grasp that concept.
