Well done!

It looks, posting/singing the national anthem once a year seems to do the trick even when it is incorrectly worded/sung.

This should be correct.

Atheism is not patriotism.

For those who may not know the Indian National Symbols

National Flag: The Indian National Flag has three colours, saffron on the top, white in the middle and green at the bottom. In the centre of the white band, there is a wheel with 24 spokes in navy blue to indicate the Dharma Chakra, which represents the wheel of law in the Sarnath Lion Capital.

National Anthem: Jana gana mana..........is India's National Anthem.

National Emblem: The National Emblem of India is a replica of the Lion of Sarnath, near Varanasi in Uttar Pradesh. The Lion Capital was erected in the third century BC by emperor Ashoka to mark the spot where Buddha first proclaimed his gospel of peace and emancipation to the four quarters of the universe.

National Bird: Peacock is India's National Bird.

National Animal: Bengal Tiger is Indian's National Animal.

National Flower: Lotus is India's National Flower. The lotus is sacred for the Buddhists according to Buddhist legends.

National Tree: The Indian fig tree is India's National Tree.

National Fruit: Mango is India's National Fruit.

GoTN has a webpage about Tiruppur Kumaran:

You need a TAM font to read the webpage. Has anyone visited his ninaivakam in Tiruppur?

It may sound ridiculous, but not everyone is well versed in our national symbols. When there was a discussion on national flags among my friends here, one of the Indians went on to describe with great passion and emotion what turned out to be the pre-independence flag of the congress party. It was not until we pointed out with some embarassment that it was the Ashok Chakra and not the spinning wheel that he understood his mistake. He still claims to have erred at the heat of the moment, but whatever!!
