While I agree that one doesnt need to sing the national anthem everyday, a special function that involves the President of India visiting surely 'justifies' the singing of the National Anthem. It wouldnt have been such an issue if the National Anthem was never meant to be sung, the issue here is that it was cancelled just because some foreign staff/clients would feel uncomfortable. IMO Infosys makes India proud and Infosys should be proud of India. Also this becomes a bigger issue since Narayna Murthy is being considered to become the next President of India.
