\u201cJanani Janmabhumischa Swargadapi gariyasi\u201d<\/em> \u2013 as the Sanskrit verse very aptly says, \u201cMother and Motherland is superior to Heaven\u201d- Serving and loving your nation is the ultimate way to earn salvation, and true patriotism truly stands for this. Patriotism is the unfathomable and deep rooted love and not to forget a profound sense of legacy\u00a0 and\u00a0 ideologies associated with culture, history, linguistic identity\u00a0 of one\u2019s own motherland.<\/p>\n

People with repugnance or abhorrence for their country can barely be found, and even though found \u00a0but is this at all possible to instil and inculcate the sense patriotism and jingoism into them by the means of some institutionalised mechanisms ?\u00a0 The question might instigate a quite a lot of difference in opinions amongst the people, as did the order by the Supreme Court made in 2016 to play the National Anthem mandatorily in all the movie theaters before the screening where everyone was to stand up during the national anthem in order to\u201d respect\u201d and reverence towards the mother land.<\/p>\n

The order which quickly prompted and waved a nationwide criticism against this Supreme Court Order, hinting at the issue that standing during the National Anthem can only proof someone\u2019s devotion, loyalty and patriotism for his country!!Stating of which, it was on November 30,2016 the apex court passed the order directing the cinema halls to play National Anthem to be mandatory. Amidst all such controversies recently the Court accepting the central government\u2019s suggestion ,took the effort to modify its earlier interim. Making it optional \u00a0\u00a0the Court clarified that playing 52 seconds long National Anthem prior to the screening is no more mandatory.<\/p>\n

Now, playing the National Anthem in the movie theatres is a choice that the hall owners have been given , since it will depend upon the discretion of the hall owners whether to play it prior to screening or not. \u00a0However, while playing National Anthem it was absolute necessary for people to stand up in respect. The Court had also elucidated and clarified that the disabled persons \u201cshall remain in force on all occasions\u201d.<\/p>\n

However, \u00a0mere bragging and swanking about nation does really not exhibit how much in depth respect one\u00a0 bears for the mother land. Sitting during the National Anthem play does not assert any one to be less patriotic . The Nation welcomes this modification which obviously does not voice volumes in favour of radical nationalism.
