Indian Police Arrest 12 Moviegoers Accused of Sitting During Anthem

NEW DELHI — The police in southern India have arrested 12 moviegoers accused of failing to stand during the playing of the national anthem, something required in all of the country’s theaters after a November ruling by India’s Supreme Court.

while grasping popcorn in your hand.
And it is no joke
if you spill your Coke
by marching in place to the band.
