Indian national flag displayed upside down on PCB website

If that is the case then whats wrong if Prosperity and Fertility was put up and Courage and selflessness at bottom i mean whats there to be hurt religiously then ? as was Karan claiming as if it was something related to your religion?

It has nothing to do with the religion. Although I don't agree with all the noise on a non issue, in India, wrong use of national flag is punishable

well it's clear that the Internet Hindus are getting ready for war.

Instead of giving the benefit of the doubt, they are working themselves into Hindu-rage mode.

Well, all the best to you arm chair generals

Indian ≠ Hindu
Indian = Hindu, Muslim, Sikh, Christian, Budhist, Atheist, etc

PCB better not piss off the Indians, they are dangerous when angry

No man. I never heard that theory. Thats how a flag expert and analyst describes it. Green and saffron man. Green has historically been on Muslim flags and Saffron on Hindu. Its as obvious as an elephant in a room. And this is apparently their problem. Upside down the green comes first, the saffron last.

Qouted from previous post:

Analysis by Ed haynes... and this is the most common connotation.

Ed Haynes can say what he wants... to us the meaning of our flag has been taught that way and does not represent religions. India is not Pakistan for bringing religion into the state affairs..

It's not now that I've read it... it's in our central board...
Read this..

I can give you many exceptions to that connotation. ..

Albeit, a nonsensical comparison to say the least, however, our Prophet (PBUH) is indeed very close to hearts, the example you quoted were the bankrupt mindsets of non-Muslims...... coming to your cause of pain, i guess it becomes more responsibility of those who represent the flag to set the example. !!

Well, I could again draw a parallel where Muslims, and specifically Muslim clerics (who are responsible for setting the example) not only indulge in behavior specifically prohibited by your prophet, like eating pork and drinking wine, but also go to the extreme of condoning terrorist attacks across the world. Should the act of those misguided muslims give a carte blache to rest of the world to abuse and make fun of your prophet.. I guess not.. Same should apply here.

(I dont even want to go where muslims like Rushdie actually go a virtually abuse the religion of his own)

Was the Indian election Commissioner punished for displaying Indian flag upside down?

I think, it may be the fault of some staff who were arranging the press meet. Anyway, it is not a serious crime. most people escape with a fine.
