sir, it is very unfortunate that some people saying that saluting or worshiping the mother land and the people who keep us survive and go aheed is some thing to do with religeon. saluting is a matter of expressing gratitude to some one who helped or helping us. if any religeon says not to be loyal or show gratitude to one who helps you , then the learned man may spend some time to realise the credentials of the system being called a system.
