I have been discussing this with various people, potential patrons and
sponsors. The consensus - and a very strong one - is that the left
hand is considered inauspicious and should be replaced with a right hand.
Ahem - inauspicious? I personally have no problems with a left or right
hand when it comes to the logo - but I am bothered about the reasons for
choosing it - we are engaged in spreading science, knowledge and reason
- as Vivek points out, whether it has any religious significance,
auspicious/inauspicious ought to be irrelevant.
Secondly red and black is too closely identified with the Dravidian
parties - the whole of Tamilnadu is plastered with red and black
material - and should be avoided.
Are we starting a political party? If not, why should we bothered?
