As the debate on what defines nationalism continues in the country, workers on strike at Tata Motors' Sanand plant were heard shouting slogans of "Hindustan hamara hai (India belongs to us)". The workers were protesting outside the district collector's office in Ahmedabad though they did not have the necessary police permission to do so.
When they were being taken away by the police, they boarded the police vans with smiling faces even as television crew recorded the episode. Some of them perhaps thought it would be pertinent to introduce the "nationalism angle" for better "coverage".
One of the policemen around was amused by all that. He asked: "Arey bhai, kyun chilla rahey ho? Kaun yahan bol raha hai Hindustan tumhara nahi hai (Why are you shouting when no one around is saying that the country isn't yours too)?"
