What rules? Everything was just created by men..mortals like anybody else..And people blindly accept rules even when they become obsolete..
Standing up to National Anthem doesn't solve India's problems. . Whole meaning of patriotism is crooked up. (Vijaykanth is largely the reason for this ;) ). Many people don't even know the meaning of our National Anthem... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jana_Gana_Mana#Lyrics It's a poem praising God, rather than our Nation. And there are so many controversies even about the context in which it was written. http://www.freeindia.org/vmataram/genesis_of_janaganamana.shtml Let all those people who blame Rahman fix that first and let God bless them with rational thinking! I would ideally like National Anthem to adapt to current needs and situations - Stress on National unity and development, Nation above self..so on.. Most of the National Anthems were written during colonial times. . .praising the ruler. Democracy has made us all equal. But who dares to change? Every politician thinks within those crooked and short sighted rules and exploits them for his/her advantage. . Wrong forum to bring out this issue. Sorry.
