There's no accounting for taste, or the lack of it.Puneet Sablok wanted to attract attention to his restaurant in Navi Mumbai, India, a suburb of Mumbai (Bombay). He succeeded.
In fact, iIt got so much attention in its first week of operation that he's planning to change the name and the logo -- from Hitler's Cross to something a little less upsetting to most people.
He made the decision after a little sit-down with members of the city's small Jewish community.
"Once they told me how upset they were with the name, I decided to change it," he said. "I don't want to do business by hurting people."
The swastika symbol, which was appropriated by the Nazis, was originally an ancient Hindu symbol and it is displayed all over India to bring luck.
"He realized he made a mistake and listened to reason," said Elijah Jacob, a community leader. "Some people have wrong conceptions of history and he realized it was not appropriate."
If you're planning on dropping in, Hitler's Cross serves pizza, salad and pastries, under whatever name it winds up using.
