Muslim family thrown out of theatre for not standing during national anthem: Is this patriotism?

A family of four members was forced to leave a cinema hall after they refused to stand up when the national anthem was played just before the movie's screening.

A video, which has gone viral both on YouTube and on microblogging site Twitter, shows some people arguing with the man who refused to stand when the national anthem was played. Some reports said the incident took place in a cinema hall in Kurla, Mumbai.
