In Indo-Pak subcontinent, before liberation, in the cinema hall, movies were started with national anthem. But this instrument was being used for the shake of colonial administration.

British Govt. wanted to get tribute to their nation not for native. French, Dutch, Portugal also maintained this honoring system to national anthem in their colonial states.

Subsequently after liberation India did not continue it, even in West Pak it was also discontinued but Pakis kept this system in the then East Pakistan, obviously for colonial domination purpose. I don't know what is now in BD?

In a mass gathering, and as people are not highly aware, anthem does not get proper respect and attention in our country.

In national level game and sports National Anthem is not required here and there and always.

For specific ceremony, that is different, I think.
