Man arrested for Pakistani crescent on Indian flag

[Rafi]

Which is not on tricolor. tricolor is not flag of Islamic India, rather its of secular India. Tomorrow if I put Lord Hanuman Pic instead of Chakra (wheel) and hoist it over my roof, police will defy catch me... rules are same for all. COz he is Muslim he can not get any concession.

Understood, but can you clarify for me, is not the chakra a Hindu religious symbol.

The "Ashoka Chakra" in the centre of the white is the wheel of the law of dharma. Truth or satya, dharma or virtue ought to be the controlling principle of those who work under this flag.

The Ashok Chakra is a Buddhist symbol. That has been adopted from India's national emblem - the lion capitol of ashoka - another buddhist symbol.

But does not mean i can put some other buddhist symbol there, that would still be a crime.

India violated this mans, safety and harmony for expressing an idea on his property. Doesn't seem very fair to me.

The man's safety and harmony is less important than the society's safety and harmony. I can not desecrate the flag, Buddha, Quran, Geeta, Bible, guru granthsahib etc even if thats an idea i want to express because that will lead to communal tensions - not worth it.

Not ideal, but practical and necessary. Why are you making me repeat it?

I agree India needs to change its laws regarding the use of flags, such as the flag is not allowed to be used on underwear. If the Indian flag does really stand for freedom of speech, then it must change these laws in order protect the value of the flag.

Respecting the flag itself is another matter, In Sri lanka, according to regulations the proper way to discard and old flag is to.
1.Follow proper folding procedures and fold the flag.
2.Place the flag on a white cloth, and follow proper wrapping procedures.
3.Burn the flag in dignified manner.

Outside of the military and official use no one really follows these procedures, However no one is arrested and put in Jail for not following them either.

The Indian government should compensate this man and give him apology letter as far as I'm concerned.

Understood, the Buddhist philosophy is one that I have a real affinity for - regardless this is an indian internal matter, and one that will hopefully be resolved in an amicable manner.

That is your opinion, to me freedom of expression is more important. If you wish to doe any of those things you mentioned above, go right ahead, I'm not stopping you and I will not protest it either. If one wishers to protest your acts, they can do that too, but I probably wont. You can destroy your own property night and day for all I care.

 

[RazorMC]

Nonsense

Since when did Pakistan get the monopoly on crescents??

 

[Spring Onion]

Same here. The respect of the flag and its dignity and its protection is guaranteed by law. Besides one not only vandalises it but also flies it to create trouble sir, not for freedom of expression.

Its best the law handles it and not the people. NOT ideal in an ideal world, but ideal for the situation we are in.

Indeed the question is why an Indian Muslim felt the need to put a crescent or for that matter "Pakistani crescent" to show his dissatisfaction ?

He will probably answer that in a court of law..

Some of them like him are traitors. Quite simple really.

Why are the TTP who are Pakistani pathans feeling the need to go suicide bombing and behead pakistani soldiers to show their dissatisfaction ?

This shows how much knowledge Indians have about Islam so nevermind

Why are the TTP who are Pakistani pathans feeling the need to go suicide bombing and behead pakistani soldiers to show their dissatisfaction ?

what an idiotic facepalm you are puting on.


anyway TTP is a terrorist organisation who has links to international terror organisations and all they do to terrorise everyone to get into power for money on one or other pretext.

the main difference is they never felt the need to put up Indian flag or any hinduism-related sign.

Again my question is why Indian Muslims need to put up "Pakistani flag" or Islamic sign to show their disasstisfaction?

Obviously the path they chose is wrong ! But the question is what made them choose this violent/wrong path ?

Indian Muslims are traitors? and who told you that ? werent they the one who opted for India and now after 65 years they have become traitors.

Obviously the path they chose is wrong ! But the question is what made them choose this violent/wrong path ?

The great game

now what about yours? why Indian Muslims while all these 65-66 years of peace time they still need to hoist or go for a Pakistani flag to show their dissastisfaction

 

[KRAIT]

Indian Muslims are traitors? and who told you that ? werent they the one who opted for India and now after 65 years they have become traitors.

He said some of them. Don't you have traitors in your country who are Muslims.

Height of generalization. Kindly read his words CAREFULLY.

You always change words to propagate your propaganda.

He said some are traitors - him being Muslim has nothing to do with being a traitor. If the guy had raised a Maoist flag and was a Hindu - he would still be considered a traitor by many Indians. Personally, I don't mind people raising any flag in their homes - when Indians wave Brazilian flags in a soccer match would that make them traitors?
