This is the picture that got Sania in trouble for showing “disrespect” to the national flag !!   I am surprised by the obsession with “disrespecting the flag” in India, where almost nobody takes the effort to proudly display the national flag in spite of a new law that allows private citizens to display the flag.  However, there are enough people on the lookout for media attention, filing cases for dishonoring the flag. It is Sania now; it was Tendulkar a couple of months ago (for cutting a cake with the Tricolor) and Mandira Bedi before that ..

 

That’s what you get when you have lawyers with no work and a media that laps up anything as news …
