One particular post on X critiques the actions of a prominent indian leader during an international visit, alleging a lack of decorum during the playing of the national anthem. The accompanying video, sourced from Hemangonews.com, captures a moment where the leader is seen walking as the indian national anthem is played by a military band in Russia.
This incident, originally reported in 2016 by The Hindu, suggests a misinterpretation of a gesture by a Russian official, leading to the leader's movement during the anthem, an act that contrasts sharply with the expected protocol of standing at attention as per international conventions.
This critique is part of a broader thread that aims to expose what the poster perceives as hypocrisy in the narrative around nationalism. The thread juxtaposes this incident with other instances where the same leader is accused of making light of domestic issues on foreign soil, such as laughing at the plight of common citizens during a speech in japan following the 2016 demonetization policy.
These actions, according to the post, are seen as embarrassing for India, especially when compared to the backlash faced by opposition figures for similar comments abroad. The thread also references other global gaffes, like an awkward introduction by US President Joe Biden, to question the leader's international demeanor and its impact on India's image.
The conversation sparked by @Amockx2022's thread delves into the complex interplay of politics, nationalism, and public perception in India. It highlights a recurring theme where political actions, both domestically and internationally, are scrutinized for their alignment with national pride and decorum.
The allegations of walking during the national anthem, if true, could be seen as a breach of protocol, potentially undermining the leader's image as a staunch nationalist. However, the thread's selective focus on these incidents also invites counter-narratives, as seen in responses that defend the leader or question the context of these events.
