I don't know who is the pettier of the two: the Kerala government for deliberately omitting Gujarat from the national anthem (if it is deliberate, that is), or the Chief Minister of Gujarat for taking offence over it.

To complete the misery, there is a news item which suggests that Bangladesh is doing much better than India in removing social/gender inequalities. I am not begrudging Bangladesh's achievements (they need some good news as much as we Indians do), BTW, but am only drawing attention to our wrong policies.

These are the days when you wish the British had never left India...
