Gorkha Community Filed a case againsed Racist and stereotype Flipkart Ads

Bollywood and Indian TV have been stereotyping Nepalese/Gorkhali people as watchmen since forever and the latest offender to join the list is the so called India’s largest e-commerce portal, Flipkart. The latest ad titled ‘Flipkart Assured – Kids Are Back – Sahebji’s Jogging Shoes’ has three kids – a sahebji and two watchmen, one of whom is seen wearing the traditional Bhadgauley Topi and hence, portrayed as a Nepali/Gorkha.
