Chennai’s Karadi Tales has recalled a book on tying the turban; here’s why

Calling it a “racially-biased content presenting Sikhs in negative tone”, Sirsa on Wednesday also tweeted that he was going to send a legal notice to the publisher.

Karadi Tales has expressed regret for “the hurt to any sentiments that may have been caused by this book.”


An illustrated book for children — The Art of Tying a Pug — has been withdrawn by Karadi Tales, the Chennai-based publisher, following a backlash by members of Sikh community on social media platforms, legal notices and alleged threats on phone for “defamatory content” by showing turban, a symbol of Sikh faith, allegedly in a derogatory manner and “presenting Sikhs in a negative tone”.
