Painter stops work to honor national anthem as students walk past unaware – India TV

No one disagrees with the assertion that at least every now and then we come across videos that shock our conscience and make us think from a humanistic point of view instead of simply accepting the conventional thoughts of society. A simple example is a statement that is often taught to everyone: that being educated is enough to instill patriotism in people. However, a recent viral video debunked these assumptions and provided a powerful example for society: not everything can be learned from books, and it is ultimately one's own value system that helps drive them.

About the viral video

A recent viral video, whose location could not be identified, circulated online due to the person's unique emotions captured on camera.

The video shows a worker painting the walls of a school from a height who suddenly stopped his work and stopped as soon as the national anthem started playing in the background. The painter doesn't move for a second as the students continue to walk and chat in the school hallways without paying much attention to the national anthem.

“True Indian”: Internet users react to viral video

Since the video was posted online, it caught the attention of Twitter users who began praising the painter for his respect for the national anthem. While one user called him a true Indian, another pointed out that education is not only found in books. Additionally, a third user expressed his respect for the man. A fourth commented: “He is well educated.” A fifth wrote: “Shame on the students who didn't stop.”
