It is all political gimmick played by those forces who are against Narayana Murthy.
His statements are distorted and K'TAK CHEAP POLITICIANS trying to take revenge.
- what is repect to national flag ? In our politicians contect respect to Falg is
1.) govt sponsored bandhs to affect the economy
2.) killing people in the name of SEZ
3.) Vote Bank Politics
4.) Saluting Name sake, with no respect in heart |

He has given millions of rupees in the form of salaries,shares etc.
daana dharmaalu chesthunnaadaa?
Just because he's great businessman doesn't mean we cannot critisize him for what he did.
Same with Tendulkar and lot of other celebrities. Jsut because Tends WAS great player, he is still in the team. |

>>He is a communist turned capitalist running a big bonded labour sweat shop
he is socialist in thinking not communist. i think there is a difference. i don't say communist are bad. just there is a difference. infosys is the first company to go with Employee stock plan. he along with his wife has progressive thinking towards life. yes company is just like any other body shop. but pays salary on bench. there is a difference.
anyway by saying so i am not supporting him on national anthem issue. yes insult to national anthem. embarassment word is really embarassing to indians. |

Kallis,
What is wrong with singing the national anthem in your own country ? How can that be decided by who is present or not ? That was a dumb decision >>
Thappem ledu boss. he just preffered an instrumental version to a vocal version for whatever reasons. We dont have read too much into this. As I said, his choice of words is definitely bad.

Nisarga,
How many companies do we have of the stature of Infosys yet - He is a trendsetter both in IT and employee benefits
He and his wife run a lot of welfare projects in Bangalore - so I have great respect for the man. He started donating old PCs to schools that couldn't afford computers ... small things that make a difference.

It was actual not an insult, But Murthy used a wrong word "Embarasment"instead of singing they went for instrumental.
Critics are always present just to spoil him coz,RNM always was against Karnataka Govt for poor Infrastucture. More over How could the MLA say to deport Murthy and infosys from karnataka, If they succeed then they will loose some crores of taxes.
Note: Might be that the MLA has recommended some candidates on infosys rolls,and RNM had rejected.So he is crying on him.
Stupid MLA just dragging.

the indian company that produced many millionaires ...
where even a car driver of executives can boast of company shares,
u talk about the company being stingy ..
the same company which gave 10L for no interest to the long standing employees ...
do u know what is infosys as a company?
and what it is to the India??
The day NRN came out and gave a bleak prospect for the future, in its quarterly results announcement last year, the whole india grappled ...
what shame we are bringing to india and indians by commenting out of fit, like this ... |

is it not true that he said its embrassing for foreigners on board to sing, who asked them to sing we only ask them to stand in respect and its same in the case of US
villu emmmana MARS NUNCHI vochara dont support such thing...
narayanamurthy is great etc but for what he said he surely was licking what is embrassing for a foreigner to listen to people sing if it so ask them to get out of the room or come after the event. |

Murthy, Sachin on backfoot
CNN-IBN
MISSING LINK: Experts say there is a fundamental disconnect between India and some public figures.
Infosys chief mentor Narayana Murthy is in the middle of a controversy following his comments on the National Anthem.
It all started with President APJ Abdul Kalam's visit to the Infosys campus in Mysore on Sunday. As per protocol, the National Anthem was played out but it was an instrumental version. Later Murthy explained that it was done to save his foreign guests from an “embarrassing” position of being silent and while their Indian counterparts were singing it.
Now Murthy is not the only one being taken to task for dishonouring the national sentiment. There is also a raging controversy against cricketer Sachin Tendulkar, who was photographed cutting a cake made of the colours of the Indian flag.
While a considerable majority feels that the two public figures have insulted the sentiments of the people by their actions, there is also a segment that argues it’s too much fuss over nothing.
Are we oversensitive about the national anthem? On CNN-IBN show Face the Nation conducted by Sagarika Ghose, a panel comprising of eminent writer U R Ananthamurthy and columnist for The Pioneer Sandhya Jain discussed the issue.
A fall from grace?
Narayana Murthy has always been perceived as a capitalist with a difference, a homegrown international icon, a boy next door who made good but has his comment on the National Anthem disappointed India?
“I don’t think we should over do this. He chose a wrong word, he is such a votary of the English language and I am surprised that he used a word like embarrassment. He should have said that it is difficult for them to sing it, perhaps then there would have been no controversy,” Ananthamurthy said.
But then, can there be a greater patriot than Murthy and should he be judged on whether or not he sings the National Anthem?
While hinting that Murthy’s comment was rather uncalled for, Sandhya Jain said, “He knew that the President, as per protocol, has to be received with the National Anthem and it has to be played. Nobody was asking his foreign trainees or guests to sing the National Anthem as a compulsory activity on the campus.”
She went on to explain that if the National Anthem is sung anywhere in the world, one stands respectfully and visiting dignitaries are not expected to sing the anthem but they are only expected to pay their respects.
“All that the guests standing there had to do was to stand when the Anthem was being recited, which they do in their own country and we do when we go anywhere. So, there was no question of embarrassment or a compulsion to sing. I do not know why Narayana Murthy said that and he has given a very poor excuse for covering up his very major lapse,” Jain added. |

Looks like R. Narayana Murthy is far better than Infosys Narayana Murthy.
To avoid embarrassmentaa .. naa pindaakoodaa.. pinjaari yedava..
In sports, here in usa, when a team from other country like Canada plays on usa soil, they sing Canadian natinoal anthem first and then US anthem.

Case against Narayana Murthy for remarks on anthem
Friday, 13 April , 2007, 20:03
Bangalore: The controversy over Infosys Chief Mentor N R Narayana Murthy's remarks on the national anthem issue snowballed with the Karnataka police registering a case against him and the State Government condemning them as an "unpardonable offence".
The Mysore City police registered the case against Murthy under section 3 of the Insult to National Honour Act on the basis of a complaint lodged by an advocate.
"The case, registered as a non-cognizable offence, is under investigation," Karnataka Home Minister M P Prakash told the State Assembly.
The Karnataka Government described Murthy's remarks as an "unpardonable offence".
"It is an unpardonable offence. There is no need for Murthy to make a statement that the instrumental version of the national anthem had to be played to avoid embarrassment to foreigners in his Mysore Global Training campus," Prakash said.
He, however, said there was no "insult" to the national anthem at the function held in the Infosys Mysore Campus on April eight, which was attended by President A P J Abdul Kalam.
The controversy arose following a statement made by Murthy at a press meet he addressed later, at which he defended the playing of the instrumental version of the national anthem to avoid embarrassment to foreigners present at the function, he said. |
