Are you a first year lawyer? You sound like worse. 1. The national anthem was not avoided, a instrumental version was played. The laws for instrumental versions are the same. You still have to stand. 2. Great and gentlemanly? How can you use the word great so liberally? 3. International or national, all gatherings in India must follow Indian Rules. Do Indian PMs sit when the star spangled banner is played? 4. Read the constitution before you talk about first year lawyers. Prevention of insults to National honour (National Flag and Anthem) 1971 and previous. Imprisonment upto 3 yrs or fine or both. 5. Insult or not is interpretation. Foreigners were present etc dont enter the argument. Did you pass first year?
