The students of a college in Sivaganga staged a demonstration on Tuesday in protest against the new album of music director A.R. Rehman that was telecast on many television channels on August 15 to mark the 60th year of Independence. Rehman released his new album based on the national anthem to mark the 60th anniversary of independence. His earlier release Vande Mataram was an instant hit among all groups of people across all age groups, but the students of the Sivaganga Mannar Duraisingam College have not taken a liking to his version of the national anthem.
