The well-known chocolate company Cadbury has received criticism in india for their current diwali promotion, which caused the hashtag #BoycottCadbury to become popular on Twitter. This is not the first time that a brand's marketing, such as Cadbury's, has come under fire. The new Cadbury campaign, according to twitter users, is contentious because it depicts a poor lamp vendor named "Damodar," who is purportedly modelled after the father of prime minister narendra Modi.
