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

[nForce]

this seems to be bombay... i thought i could hear marathi accent from that foul fellow... a shiv sena or mns terrorist i suppose.

these fake-patriots and fool nationalists are everywhere in india, commoner versions of the stupid preity zinta who did the same thing last year i think.

did these ultra-nationalist haraamis cry for 200,000 farmers who suicided between 1997 and 2010?? do they cry every time a "honor killing" takes place?? they offer unliving idols food but leave humans to die of hunger !! did india's national anthem ever come of use to these oppressed and dead people??

wallah !! anti-humanism finds great acceptance in india.

a country that is called "suicide capital of the world" should really be involved changing the system completely instead of being proud of the indefensible.

jai humanity !!

Tell me, your heart starts bleeding for this man because he is a Muslim or because he is an anti-Indian ?

What has farmer suicide got to do with disrespecting National Anthem ? Do you know, understand the meaning/purpose and symbolism of National Anthem ? Any decent school in India teaches that, in case you were paying attention. You cannot live in a land and disrespect the land and the people in the same time.

And you guessed political party affiliation by hearing someone talk ? Consider starting your own private investigation agency, you will make millions.

Intolerance is on the rise in Indian occupied regions. This is the warning-these incidents are a warning of things to come and how it can be far worse. Remember once Fazlullah was a no body and could be caught by a single policeman rather than an army battalion in Swat. Take action now and save the people a lot of pain.

My family was right in choosing Pakistan though. The Indians condone this kind of thing in a kind of twisted sense of patriotism.

I don't know whether you have such discipline in your country, but here in India, we expect everybody to follow a code of conduct, that goes for all.

Definitely because he is a Muslim, because his heart reacts like that only for Muslims and Cats.

Attempt to divert to offtopic, and BTW the Muslim family should not be forced to leave the theatre rather Kicked out of the threatre.

Is the US a civilized society? Or for that matter is any society civilized? Which societies do you have in mind?

These are the ultra-civilized who will find something wrong in everyone's behaviour. They need to take a walk out in the streets sometimes, for a change and perceive the reality of the real World, or even better try creating a society with like-minded people and see how long it lasts.

Society is created with discipline and discipline has to be enforced. There has to be punishments for those who don't conform. Also, at the same time, there has to be people who will point it out if you are not following the law.

The family got heckled, so be it. It acts as a rebuke, a reminder, an example for those who do not follow the law, or far more important, act stupid enough to do the exact wrong thing at the right point of time.

Basically joe shearer + Bang Galore + nForce make an amalgamation of my overall reaction.

Now the intolerance brigade will return their awards as the people asked these Muslims to stand up for the national anthem, who dare the people of india ask these arrogant people with special protection from congress and its allies ask or question them. They have all the rights, they have the right to plant bombs, they have the right to burn trains, they have the right to threaten all Hindus to kill them all in 15 minutes, we poor Hindus should bow before their machismo and be tolerant, if anyone dares question them they will be branded as intolerant, and award wapsi will start, but if a Hindu dies its his fate, no one to care for him, award takers will rejoice and have party as one of their so called opponent is eliminated. I am happy for one thing at least there are people who question them.

The majority from what I could see....even in a more "liberal" city...

I bet there were muslims too that were clapping in the end, and who knows the make up of the mob.

What about the foreigners? do Indians force them to stand up during the National Anthem in a cinema hall as well?

Personally, I don't get the purpose of National anthem in a cinema hall for watching a movie.

 

[HariPrasad]

Had Muslims, done this to Hindus, Head line would have been petriot Muslims teach a lesson to some people unwilling to respect national anthum.

Here the question is that whether audience knew whether they were Muslim? Were they wearing skull cap etc. This is an unnecessary effort to communalize the incident.

were the people did not stand during the national anthem were foreigners?

 

[LeGenD]

were the people did not stand during the national anthem were foreigners?

And if they do not want to?

 

[Kaniska]

I saw the news today...Before browsing PDF, i was not aware that they are Muslims...Anyway, now law should take into effect about why they did not stand up when national anthem was being played...

 

[HariPrasad]

And if they do not want to?

Than there will be a protest. No fatwa of killing nor any violence.

Why should foreigners be expected to participate in the National Athem chorus in a cinema hall? Constitution of India have a clause about this matter?

Playing National Anthem in cinema hall is not the issue here...Paying respect to it is...i hope you are getting the gist...now to answer your question - how is it done in Pakistan....do you guys stand up when National Anthem is played or there is no such thing there??

Why should foreigners be expected to participate in the National Athem chorus in a cinema hall? They are not bind by the law to do so or are they?

It is showing respect...no law...

I am not talking about foreigner because it is not their duty to respect Indian national anthem. they can respect it willfully if they want.

 

[FullMetalJacket]

Correct me if I'm wrong, but during national anthems of any procession or event, it is customary and respectful to stand up, you don't even have to sing it. To not do so, means drawing attention to yourself and is very disrespectful.
