‘Regressive’: Amazon faces criticism for selling Rakhi gifts with adoption jokes

E-commerce giant Amazon has come under attack from social media users and adoptive parents for selling merchandise bearing messages like “Tu toh adopted hai” (You are adopted) and “Tujhe na mummy, papa dustbin se utha ke laye the” (Our parents picked you from a dustbin) as Raksha Bandhan gifts.

They said such “tasteless” jokes reinforce the stigma around adoption.

Despite repeated attempts, Amazon could not be reached for comment.

“One of the most hilarious dialogues exchanged between a bro-sis duo is “Tu adopted hai”. This Rakhi combo will make you both laugh and reminisce about those days when you had sweet disagreements.
