Could also be that these people are fairly clueless as to the symbolism, aware at best that it is something “American”, or a factory reject purchased for a few rupees at a bazaar.
Well, yes, those are pretty obvious possibilities, though the comments (and the post itself) indicate that knowledge of the symbolism is fairly widespread in India. I don’t actually believe someone is paying random folk to spread the Lost Cause” in Indi: My comment about out-sourcing wasn’t meant to be taken literally.
