Indian national flag displayed upside down on PCB website

[walwal]

Bangalore, Dec 27:

With the bilateral cricketing ties resuming after five years, the image of the Indian flag on the official website of Pakistan cricket board might create more problems as the flag is displayed with 'saffron' down. The official site of PCB, promoting the bilateral series on their homepage has invited trouble as they have displayed the Indian flag upside down. According to the law, national flag displayed with the saffron down signifies a sign of distress or used as a form of protest. This could also lead to 'flag desecration' (flag abuse) which would also mean that it is intentionally done to destroy or mutilate a flag in public. According to Indian flag code, violation of the same could invite severe punishment.

Moreover according to the Prevention of Insults to National Honour Act, 1971 any damage or mutilation or disrespect to the national flag could lead to severe punishment. Whoever in any public place or in any other place within public view burns, mutilates, defaces, defiles, disfigures, destroys, tramples upon or otherwise shows disrespect to or brings into contempt (whether by words, either spoken or written, or by acts) the Indian National Flag.......... or any part thereof, shall be punished with imprisonment for a term which may extend to three years, or with fine, or with both. The expression, "Indian National Flag" includes any picture, painting, drawing or photograph, or other visible representation of the Indian National Flag, or of any part or parts thereof, made of any substance or represented on any substance.

The disrespect to the Indian National Flag includes

(a) a gross affront or indignity offered to the Indian National Flag; or
(b) dipping the Indian National Flag in salute to any person or thing; or
(c) flying the Indian National Flag at half-mast except on occasions on which the Flag is flown at half-mast on public buildings in accordance with the instructions issued by the Government; or (d) using the Indian National Flag as a drapery in any form whatsoever except in state funerals or armed forces or other para-military forces funerals; or
(e) using the Indian National Flag as a portion of costume or uniform of any description or embroidering or printing it on cushions, handkerchiefs, napkins or any dress material; or (f) putting any kind of inscription upon the Indian National Flag; or
(g) using the Indian National Flag as a receptacle for receiving, delivering or carrying anything except flower petals before the Indian National Flag is unfurled as part of celebrations on special occasions including the Republic Day or the Independences Day; or
(h) using the Indian National Flag as covering for a statue or a monument or a speaker's desk or a speaker's platform; or
(i) allowing the Indian National Flag to touch the ground or the floor or trail in water intentionally; or
(j) draping the Indian National Flag over the hood, top, and sides or back or on a vehicle, train, boat or an aircraft or any other similar object; or
(k) using the Indian National Flag as a covering for a building; or
(l) intentionally displaying the Indian National Flag with the "saffron" down. Since the code suggests that the flag shall not be intentionally displayed with the saffron down the recent act from PCB, that has displayed the Indian flag upside down would invite more trouble.

it might just be a mistake, it would be easy to make such a mistake.
No need to get your saris in a knot.
Wait for them to clarify and rectify and move along.

And Indian laws don't apply to Pakistanis unless they are inside India, I doubt the server for the site is inside India so it's silly to be throwing legalities out there.

how immature are you?
what you are saying is childish.
They simply put the green band up and the organ band down, if you are not from India or don't know the flag well, this is an easy mistake to make.

It's not like they replaced the Wheel with a swastika or something.

no need to get panties in a knot.

a bunch of idiots, it's a purposefully made mistake, low life attempt at insulting India - pathetic trolls.

how does someone get an online image upside down if its not intentional.

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

Hellloooooooo ! India is not only about Hindus. And so easy for you to label someone here as 'internet hindus'. There are nonHindus, who equally care about our country. Given benefit of doubt to PCB, lets see how fast they can rectify that

so you where there when they did this?
Did they say anything else they were going to do to subvert the great Bharat?
What's next?
Will they photoshop the Tajmahal into lahore now?
Those evil evil Musalman!!!

the real question is, what are you internet hindus going to do about it?
Clearly this affront to Hindustan cannot stand as it is worse than rape of a girl on a bus.
I say you take to the streets and riot against your government and force them to shut down the internet

So what's new? In 2005, Pakistan's former President Pervez Musharraf, while visiting India had an upside down flag displayed on his airplane.

But let's not bash others. We need to get our own house in order first. Check this out. The erstwhile Chief Election commissioner of India Mr Lyngdoh had the national flag upside down on his own bl00dy table!!!!!! Jeeez!

Please read the bellow post and look at the images with open eyes all the bold parts in above posts by Indians apply to some Indian nationals . Please decide if they are bunch of idiots or they are not pure hearts as well or they are taking cheap shots at own India?

Give it rest you bunch of drama queens, first teach your own country fellows to respect your taranga.
