Geographically Incorrect Anthem

There is no justification why the petitioner against the word 'Sind' in India's national anthem should have been fined, that to the tune of Rs. 10,000. After all, the person was right in his own way of viewing things and the basis of his views was not entirely untenable. The controversy did not lead to any unnecessary furore over the issue. It actually made people sit back and remember the national anthem once more. The country's apex court was right in allowing the national anthem to remain intact, but perhaps the punishment it meted out to the petitioner was a bit too harsh.
