The communists deny all religions and even deny the existence of God. Worshiping His idols is therefore a mark of blind faith and absurdity in their views.
But, what if somebody burns their red flag, or tears off the manuscript of the manifesto of communism?
They would certainly feel hurt and insulted and react furiously against any such attempt.
But why should they? After all, the flag is only a piece of cloth and there must be several copies of their manifesto available in print.
Well, it is not the physical entity, but the sentiments, the faith in the implications associated with it that count.
So many of our freedom fighters had dared to risk their lives for protecting our national flag; great revolutionaries had sacrificed their lives by placing this mark of our national prestige in place of the British flag those days!
