Shashi Tharoor: “I respectfully urge you to reach out and engage in the dialogue our democracy owes its young citizens. That is not…”

I can understand singing it once during ceremonial occasions involving the President, Vice-President or Prime Minister. But singing the entire song twice during a short programme is difficult to understand.

I honestly think that this is an unnecessary imposition by the central government of having to listen to all five verses every time.

That’s where the problem should be addressed, not by fasting unto death.

It is honestly a deficiency of the government, and the government should be responsible and take action to fix the problem. Otherwise, it’s a betrayal of an entire generation.
