 Brittany Schear posted another Facebook message late Thursday night, saying that she and Brian “appreciate the love and support shown” and “never imagined that our last 24 hours would be as they were.”

Wednesday’s video comes amid a period of dire public relations for the air travel industry, following several high-profile instances of airline staff apparently mistreating customers.

Most notoriously, in April, Chicago aviation officers violently removed Dr. David Dao, a Kentucky physician, from a United flight after Dao refused to relinquish his seat. Airline staff, at the time of the incident, said that they had overbooked the flight and needed the seat for their employees. They later retracted that claim.

This story has been updated with a statement from Delta Air Lines. It has also been updated throughout for consistency with the ages reported in Brittany Schear’s initial Facebook post. 

Hindu images have been used for every sort of commercialism, from being put on shoes in France to even toilet seats in the US. Hindu sacred chants have been used as the background for erotic scenes in modern movies. Yet it was only after making significant protests that Hindu concerns have even registered in the media. This is largely because the world media, dominated by western religious views, did not even consider a Hindu point of view as existent until Hindus began their protests.

In the past this issue had become highlighted relative to the works of the Indian artist MF Hussain. Hussain’s work had been criticized by Hindus for portraying Hindu deities in a disrespectful manner, by showing them naked and in non-sacred poses, much like nudes in western secular art.

Those in defence of Hussain have argued that since Hindu deities have been portrayed at times in some ancient Hindu temples as naked, one should not complain if others do so. This argument is very weak. Europeans have also used Christian images at times in non-sacred ways, for that reason should non-Europeans be encouraged to do so?

However, to really understand this issue, we must understand the Hindu view of art and how representational images are used in Hindu worship.

The Hindu View of Art

The Hindu tradition embraces art in a much broader way than orthodox Christianity or Islam have done so historically. Hinduism contains extensive traditions of music, drama, dance, sculpture and painting, honouring the Divine in all forms of nature as well
