Australian court rejects India's 'Basmati' trademark appeal, in win for Pakistan

[Raj-Hindustani]

Sure, India bought this case and lost. That is it. No favours from allies it seems

Why would anybody, including the government, care about such small things?

It’s not like China or other leader-centric governments; they don’t need to make decisions based on national relationships.

 

[Raj-Hindustani]

In which case what motivated the Indian government to bring the case?

It's a trade game, just...

 

[Yasser76]

Yeah, you lost this round and a bit of a laughing stock

Indians are ALWAYS going on about how other countries will bend to their will due to economy, this again proves that fallacy wrong

Bringing this to court shows how bitter and twisted the mindset is - then getting wupped in court - raj twists it on here and says hes happy with this?
Burning deep inside yet pretending its fine to save face

Whats more, if you an Aussie you look at this shit and think "Confident nation of 1.4 Billion that is an emerging power and a Quad partner?" "Nah, bunch of desperate dicks vying for some sort of relevance"

In the past Pakistan & India jointly fought to keep other from using the name....

Latched on to India's fight against bio piracy. You had zero interest in initiating one in the US against US companies. India supplied traditional knowledge libraries in digitalised format for patent offices and more. "Together faught".

Basmati is associated with the foothills of the Himalayas and the Indo-Gangetic

Yeah, thanks for stating the obvious it's traditionally cultivated in India most of the cultivated lands of Basmati is in India, it's not present in Nepal or Bangladesh it's traditionally cultivated in places like Himachal, Uttarakhand, Jammu, Uttar Pradesh, Haryana and Punjab and like I said a few portions are in PK.

Quite simply, aman ki asha era is over. What was once - incorrectly assumed - to be a joint fight against a powerful colonial usurper has now been revealed to be a fight by one free nation against a powerful colonial usurper and its pet gibbon.

As stated previously, grow basmati wherever you can and like. But also be assured of and at peace with its islamic, mughal, and Pakistani origins.

 

[FarhanSiddiqui]

It's not a "Pakistani" heritage. The rice was traditionally cultivated along Indo-gangetic plains of which a small section unfortunately lay in Pakistan.

The Indus Valley Civilization was based along the Indus River of Pakistan of which a small section unfortunately lay in India !!

 

[Yasser76]

Cant get the Aussies to agree on how to name rice, good like on a coalition against China.

Clowns.

Had they won he would be found celebrating here talking down to Pakistan/Pakistanis stating something along the lines that this is the power of however many trillion economy and all the usual claims.

 

[Feroze]

No, Australia court ruled that the word ‘Basmati’ cannot belong solely to India.

They only stated basmati not solely belongs to any country.

Sorry buddy, India lost the case. Basmati is a Pakistani brand.

sorry to burst your bubble.
