印度新规：电影院播放电影前要演奏国歌
India's supreme court has ruled that the national anthem must be played in every cinema before a film is screened.
印度最高法院规定，所有电影院都要在播放电影之前演奏国歌。
Judges said the order should be enforced within 10 days and audiences must stand when the anthem is played.
In the 1960s and 1970s, cinemas regularly played the anthem but the practice declined.
Opinion on the court move is divided on social media.
There is no uniform law in India regarding the anthem and the 29 states have had their own laws on the issue.
According to the new ruling, the anthem must be played in all cinemas, accompanied by an image of the Indian flag.
"The people should stop following individual notions of freedom and have a sense of committed patriotism," Indian media reports quoted judges as saying.
