I'm in Mumbai post 26/11. A city which has been punished for being the jewel in India's crown. Today as for every republic day, the people of my building stood to attention as the flag was hoisted.
The audience is as close to an actual representation of India as possible. There are the young, the old. The punjabis, mallus, maharashtrians, gujratis, etc.The middle class original residents and the nouvae rich new entrants. The kids whose voice is loud and clear while the national anthem is played, the youngsters who silently mouth the lyrics and the older set who really really have a sense of pride in them.
Goosebump territory this.
