Instagram users shared their admiration. One user wrote, “He is the real Indian.” Another added, “Education is not found only in books.” Others commented with similar respect, while some criticized the students for not stopping, with one user saying, “Shame on the students who didn’t stop.”
The Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) states that people should stand at attention when the national anthem plays. Exceptions apply when it’s part of a newsreel or documentary, as standing could disrupt the film. The MHA emphasizes the need for proper decorum when showing respect to the national anthem.
