Was there a proscription against recording it?

Best wishes of the New Year to you, too.

Beautiful. You need a drone to get a shot looking down. 😀

I should add:I wonder if the fascist American Left (lead by the NYT) has called Naipaul’s observations “hate speech.” Likely there would have been calls for YouTube, Twitter, Facebook and Google to shut him down if he has expressed his views on social media today.

Naipaul also had the courage to put it down on record. The Indian Left and the Marxists - Amartya Sen & gang - have a deep-seated hatred for the Hindus. It is conceivable that the Indian Muslims, left to their own devices, would understand and accept Babri’s fate from the historical context. It is inconceivable that Amartya et al would let them.

The only reason I root for Modi these days is that he is ‘not-Amartya.’ I am delighted that Amartya has to suffer Modi in his final years.

Would the theory also apply to societies of 'lower' forms? Eg. Lions?

I don't know. Vande Mataram, of course, is available in several tunes.

Interestingly, Ananda Samarakoon, composer of Sri Lanka's beautiful anthem (Sri Lanke Mata), was Tagore's student.

I only go to the NYT's Science and Arts section. And their Lens slideshow.

In a more current context even the Indian national anthem isn't Indian in expression.
