Simply a demonstration of the insistence of demonstrations of patriotism taken too far

Extremism is inevitable in disunited nations such as India. Every week a hate crime makes a Hindu or Muslim victim. People are seeking a way to restore social bond and ethnic cleansing appears to them as the only way to do that.

The best way to avoid extremism is to have a homogeneous nation with a strong national identity.

A weak national identity and multiple strong identities can only give birth to extremism, as it did in Germany and Italy before.

I am one of the adults in the room here who think that disrespecting the flag or the national anthem is childish and petty.

that may be the easiest way to avoid extremism thinck the best way would involve secular rule that treats people as equals and forbids laws based on faith alone

the us vs them mentality is the source of extremism

India is handling the issue better than America is.

No violence against anti America wackos is necessary if the government would deal with them instead

A fine for 1st time burning of the flag would satisfy most people.

Repeated offenses would have bigger fines and maybe community service such as picking up tradh along the highway

Then no one would get their nose busted
