Hong Kong's Court of Appeal on Wednesday granted the government's application to ban a protest anthem called "Glory to Hong Kong," overturning a lower court judgment that had rejected such a ban because of its possible "chilling effects" on free speech. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2024/05/09/asia-pacific/politics/hong-kong-court-anthem/

I'm not a fan of national anthems, but somehow, as was the case this morning, I had Nkosi Sikelel' I'afrika, the South African one, running through my head. I blame the lecturer who made me analyse its harmony years ago, while he gave everyone else European anthems. OK, I don't blame him at all, because it's at least not bland, and pretty catchy as far as national anthems go, plus multilingual, of course; though I only understood 2 of the 5 languages on my 1st listen (Afrikaans and English). My Xhosa and Zulu are very very basic, and my Sesotho nonexistent.
This concludes this random story about my brain jukebox on shuffle.

In Kashmir, Respect for National Symbols Cannot Be Commanded By Fear

The Centre's relationship with J&K is not a humane one. It is a relationship of the strong and the weak. When the weak cannot scream, they register their resistance by remaining silent.
