Chris,
Well, this sort of patriotic obsession with the  flag is not common
anywhere else in the world that I know of, though I read an article in
some magazine that it had started manifesting itself in Australia -
maybe the Aussie list members can respond on this point with first
hand experience. India's rules are similar to the UK - you can freely
fly the flag only on a few days in the year such as Republic Day or
Independence Day.
Cheers
Jayanand
