And these are some reactions the picture received. One user wrote- Pls don't disrespect books, knowledge is sacred, we are supposed to respect it:

Another one stated- don't step on books, for Hindus, books are holy object and we worship them:

A scathing reaction also stated- Books in Hinduism are considered Goddess Saraswati. You are insulting our composite culture by such advertisements:

@PUMA Books in Hinduism are considered Goddess Saraswati and in Islam the very first verse of the Qur'an reads, “Among you the Most Generous is Who taught by the pen, taught man that which he knew not."
You are insulting our composite culture by such advertisements.

The backlash continued with a series of tweets, here's another one:

Books are treated sacred in India . Touching with a foot is a sin. Children are asked to treat them as Goddess
" Saraswati " n place them in front of God while praying. When they touch accidentally they take bow & fold their hands do Namaste

Another one angrily asked, What is this behaviour, Selena?:

What is this behaviour, Selena

We wonder how Gomez or the people in Puma are going to respond to this controversy!
