MHA issues fresh guidelines on National Anthem, Vande Mataram and state songs

New directives from the Union home ministry detail singing national and foreign anthems. Audiences must stand when the national anthem is played, except during films. State songs will be sung after the national song and before the national anthem. Foreign anthems are played first, followed by India's national anthem at receptions. Cultural festivals allow foreign anthems to precede India's national anthem.
