I am not saying the national anthem saga is the way to go but may be it's his way. But it is a tad bit unfair to say that he should move, though. Can I not be a part of a country and protest something from within it?<br /><br />In other things, a man in a wheelchair got beaten up at a movie theater in India for not standing up when the national anthem was playing.<br />Guriahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17745027299909279888noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6636808797927234183.post-41873255031823897262016-10-20T08:13:39.606-07:002016-10-20T08:13:39.606-07:00It is sad .. the country that has provided and ALS...It is sad .. the country that has provided and ALSO given him the RIGHT to do what he did .. he does not respect the national flag..

Of course casteism is a black mark in India's good spirit. <br /><br />What he did is traitorous and that also I agree to.But the bitter experiences of the blacks might have turned him(many others also) rebellious to go against the laws laid by the whites.When one crosses the border of traits like patriotism, he may not have any hesitation to openly exhibit his hatred. <br /><br />Here also many a man respects our flag and anthem out of fear of falling into the piece-breaking legality.I don't know SG, if I have gone wrong in my own hypothesis.<br /><br />Half of the comment only got published and so I deleted it and republished. <br /><br />rudraprayagahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13775039913655864157noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6636808797927234183.post-89106303213695227432016-10-10T07:03:21.213-07:002016-10-10T07:03:21.213-07:00This comment has been removed by the author.rudraprayagahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13775039913655864157noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6636808797927234183.post-62554463571604621522016-10-09T20:40:17.595-07:002016-10-09T20:40:17.595-07:00I guess this was a way for him to bring the issue ...I guess this was a way for him to bring the issue to limelight.

Can we use the same analogy? Indian National Anthem was written by Mr. Tagore in Bengali. Others have not had any say in that in India. Therefore, is it ok if non-Bengalis do not stand up during the playing of Indian National Anthem?SGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05790347071764332430noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6636808797927234183.post-9156224878538843512016-10-09T10:37:00.006-07:002016-10-09T10:37:00.006-07:00I think the National Anthem might have been fully ...I think the National Anthem might have been fully planned and designed by the whites and the blacks might not have had any say in that(I contain a vacuum with regard to history).So apathy against the whites may be burning in his mind and numerous occassions might have fuelled his fury.This being an acknowledgeable occasion, it caught attention.
