I think NRN's intentions were genuine. It is just that he used wrong words to express those intentions. What he would have meant was that he did not want foreigners to feel UNEASY with the guilt of not being able to give justice to what is being sung. But I think instead of the word "UNEASY", he used the word "EMBARASSEMENT" which was not liked by the people. But yes, he did a mistake coz he did that just for the sake of a handful of foreigners who would not understand the song. What about the other majority of Indians who understood and may have wanted to listen it in words? Nevertheless, he has apologized so there is no need to create a big fuss out of it. He should be forgiven now. WE have other pressing issues at hand to resolve. Don't we?

Nobody is asking them to sing along with Indians. So there is no Uneasyness.. even if he change the word . he's not doing anything good.

Imagine you an educated indian going abroad to Uganda or China or the USA for a job. Imagine the local employees singing their national anthem. How would you feel being an EDUCATED indian?Nothing right ? In fact you would appreciate their culture. But our Mr.Murthy feels that an Educated foreignr would feel embarassed when they hear the national anthem of the host country they live in. Mr. Murthy you have erred in your judgement. You have lost the moral right to preach. So dose your wife. I now assume that Mr.Murthy would have felt sick in his stomach when he listened to people singing the national anthem of their countires while he was touring so he did the instrumental version at his home country to eduate the ignorant firangi's.
