Are you an Indian? enough?!

I was really hurt today when i saw saw my fellow INDIANS not standing upto the National Anthem.
Spending my last few days of internship in Nepal and then it's a good bye forever & so have been doing some crazy stuff lately. No, i won't go into the details ;)
So i went to this early morning show on saturday of the latest relese "MARRY KOM" which is an amazing movie by the way and you should probably go and see it.
At the end of this movie they play the Indian National Anthem and an onscreen message appears that 'Please stand to respect the National Anthem', and so i did which comes so naturally if you come from India, isn't it? For me it's like sugar to my ears (since i'm a sweet crazy) i will even stand if someone whistles or hums the National Anthem. But there inside the movie hall i was really surprised to see that other than me and my friend no one else stood during the anthem. OK fine i was in Nepal and i don't expect them to stand but where is the National spirit of the Indians present inside that hall, my fellow interns, college students none rose to pay respect, and thats really saad. What is happening to our country?! Has the education level become so low that they are not even able  to teach the students to stand up during the National Anthem, pay some respect to mother INDIA. For we have been taught and brought up in such a manner that we'll even stand to honour if some other country's national anthem is being played. That's how it should be, that's how you pay respect, that's how you make relationships and not by being selfish jerk. C'mon have some respect for your beautiful country which is RICH in every possible way, you just need to have eyes to see that. This is INDIA and i'm proud of it's rich heritage.
I love my country.
That's all i had to say.... this place has thought me a lot and this was one of the biggest lessons that i got is, if you can't respect your country your country will not respect you. People like you deserve to stand i line, people like you deserve to be drained out by corruption and people like you should end up having a poor and miserable life because the riches of our land was not inherited for you. Jai Hind!
