India : Muslim family forced to leave theatre for not standing during national anthem

[INDIAPOSITIVE]

A video about a Muslim family asked to leave a theatre because they did not stand for the national anthem is gaining attention on social media.

The over two-minute video clip shows a few people arguing with the family, who they accuse of making excuses for not standing up when the national anthem was playing. The video shows the family, surrounded by the group of people, trying to defend itself, but the efforts are in vain.

The Muslim family is forced to leave the theatre and the people present there welcome that with applause.

The video has been posted on Facebook and shared thousands of times. It is also being circulated on WhatsApp and other messaging platforms.

Though the authenticity of the video's location is not verified, some reports say it is from Mumbai, others say it is from Bengaluru.

Govt-backed intolerance: Muslim family forced out of theatre in India

As the family left, the footage shows Hindus rejoice their 'win'.
BANGALORE (Dunya News) – Muslim family was reportedly forced out of a movie theatre as Modi government becomes habitual of denying growing intolerance in India.

A video went viral among the smartphone users over the weekend.

The footage shows few extremists pressurizing a Muslim family who stepped out of house for outing during the weekend and landed up in a theatre to watch a film.

The family members are seen arguing the unfounded notions endorsed by the Hindu extremists in the footage however, they had to leave. Other cinemagoers watched the harassment and none deemed it right to defend the victimized family.

As the family left, the footage shows Hindus rejoice their ‘win’.

India is unarguably moving towards a distorted image of ‘tolerant’ and ‘secular’ since Prime Minister (PM) Narendra Modi came to power. The PM who openly endorses a rather extremist viewpoint of Hindutva finds harassment of Muslims and minorities legitimate.

Several BJP leaders have voiced baseless hatred against Muslims in the recent past with one going as far as saying that they should leave India and move to Pakistan. Hindu extremist wing, Shiv Sena enthusiasts including known faces have questioned much revered entertainment celebrities’ nationality and roots for denouncing intolerance.

In the most recent of the dogma-incited controversies, Sena had announced Rs 1 lac for anyone who would slap Aamir Khan. The much condemnable and ridiculously stupid reward scheme came after Khan joined the ‘anti-intolerance’ club among several notable personalities and activists.

‘Rang De Basanti’ star had said on a platform that he is concerned over future of children in India, a society which is feeding off intolerance.

The alleged provocation against the government prompted Advocate Manoj Kumar Dixit to file a sedition case against Khan in a session court of Kanpur.

Earlier, a superstar whose father was one of the youngest freedom fighters who fought for India against British colonization, Shahrukh Khan had to take flak for joining the ‘award-return brigade’. Members of the extremist parties had termed Shahrukh a Pakistani agent.

A celebrity who has received national decorations and has taken India in foreign heartlands through his fame and cinema had to be answerable about his nationality in his homeland. Yes, that is India.

Why highlight their religion, similar treatment would have been meted out to any idiot. And its not like they had "Muslim" written on their forehead.

The Supreme Court has said that the audience in cinema houses need not stand up when the national anthem is sung as part of a movie. Disposing of an appeal by producer-director of the film 'Kabhi Khushi Kabhi Gham' Karan Johar against the Madhya Pradesh High Court order directing the deletion of the national anthem from the film, the court said the audience was not expected to stand up when the national anthem was a part of a running news reel, documentary or movie

@Roybot @ranjeet

There are 2 different issues..
1. if national anthem is part of movie/ show then it is optional to stand since it will interrupt the continuity of the program.
2. if it is played as part of event, every one needs to stand and pay attention. this incident is second case and should be condemned irrespective of religion.

That case was about national anthem being part of the movie, this one relates to one being played before the movie starts. two different cases.

Seen this excuse being trotted out. Does not apply here, the anthem is not part of a movie or a documentary. I'm not a fan of the national anthem being played in movie theatres but people should use their noggins when they are in such an environment. Regardless of whether or not it constitutes an offense (the law prescribes punishment only for those intentionally interfering & there is a precedent in a case involving Lalu Prasad & his wife), it is asking for trouble.

This is neither a news reel nor movie nor documentary.

I think this is Mumbai and not Bangalore. They don't play national anthem before movies in Bangalore.
