    Aura Bogado Retweeted British Museum

    If the curator's claim that "Asian names can be confusing" and way too long, how'd she fit all of this into one comprehensible tweet?https://twitter.com/britishmuseum/status/907905876660539392 …

        Only the "Indian" (Hindu?) name is long, and I bet there's a compound word going on there that would be 100% worth learning about.

        In all my time as a student in India Ive never heard him called Shakyamuni Buddha or anything more. Hindus dont really add titles or laurels

        For deities we say Ji (pronounced G) for males & Ma (as in mother) for females. Eg. Shiv Ji/Krishen Ji & Kali Ma/Durga Ma. But they also...

        usually have multiple names or titles depending on the region in question and the importance of said deity in that area.

        That's NOT her point. It's the shear volume of different names for the same entities that can be confusing. Relax

        I'm disappointed with this. Even if this is common practice. The wording just feels offensive to me
