Aug. 15, 1947: Mountbatten swears Nehru in as Prime Minister of India TRAIN TO PAKISTAN; India 1947. Trains packed with refugees - Hindus and Sikhs headed for India, and Muslims headed for Pakistan - were convenient targets for gangs of killers on both sides of the border. Inadequately protected 'Refugee Specials' were typically stopped, and the occupants butchered, several times in the course of the journey. The dead - Punjab, 1947 1971: Indira Gandhi reviews the troops, in the context of military and diplomatic preparations for the Bangladesh War. Ghandhiji Addressing people Nehru and Gandhi at AICC meeting, July 1946 Mountbatten arrives at Delhi airport; received by Nehru and Liaquat Ali. March 25, 1947 1948: The news of Gandhi's assassination hits the streets. A stunned crowd gathers in Calcutta. 1948: Crowds in New Delhi wait for a glimpse of Gandhi's funeral procession. A Library being divided at the time of partition. Heart trembles to see this sight and it is tough to imagine the state of the nation at the moment when people needed to hold hands.

This is what is meant by storm in a tea-cup. The anthem is seriously insulted by all and sundry in daily life... but no one says anything. One superachieving non-political Indian makes a comment, and it is taken to court! What we need is a national awakening, not knee jerk reactions. How many of us stand up for the National Anthem? I have observed that around half of us do not seem to care to do so. Is that not an insult? We dance to Vande mataram in a changed tune, completely forgetting that it is the National Song! We show scant respect for our national flag! We insult our motherland by our disgracefull behaviour abroad! AND after that make these oh-so-sanctimonious comments... sickening is what it is

Kale, your notion is wrong. Everybody stand up during playing of National Anthem in any function. The basic thing is that whenever it (insult) becomes public, it must be paid by the mistaker. There is no way to escape.
Honurable court should not have quashed the order. Everyone knows about the statement made by Mr.Murthy. It really sends a wrong signal from the judiciary especially when the question of National anathem issue is concerned.

If you receive any summons from the Court, you too would do the same. Other option was to appear before the lower Court who have no powers like that of High Court to dismiss a case summarily, which means attending courts for years.
