who else will be draped in National Flag? - Page 2

This thread is insensitive. Anyway to answer your question ideally only military, police, high office holders and elected representatives get the flag. But it is the discretion of the state government to give it to others. Like the UP government gave it to a mob lyncher to play politics so Sridevi is much above such a person. At least she was a renowned actress in every sense.

so yesterday, we shouldn't judge
today we can judge the members.

MJ , I loved, his music, his contribution towards entertainment, arts, heal the world foundation, whatever...but please don't drape him with a flag.

Why the fuss over being wrapped in the national flag? She represented India on an international level and deserved it.<div></div>

international?

okay, so maybe priyanka chopra, aishwariya rai, and who knows deepika have a shot at this.
I have a feeling all three khans will also be draped.

Here is an article on state funeral.

@bold:agree...Shashi Kapoor was given state honor...

This topic is extremely insensitive. Why even think about anyone's death?

Just when i feel i have read the worst something even worse comes before my eyes, sadly insensitivity has no bounds!

And when naxals like Gauri Lankesh can get state honours why not Sridevi!

Typically national flags are reserved for military and highly decorated civilians. Since celebrities tend to have such an emotional space in the minds of Indians, the interpretation of civilians has always been held loosely.

Sridevi was recipient of Padmashri. I think that's why she got a national sending off.
