On January 12, 2026, a big controversy started at Ryan International School in Nallasopara West, Maharashtra (near Mumbai). A video went viral on social media showing the Bangladesh national flag flying inside the school grounds.

Many people got very angry because of this. It happened at a time when relations between India and Bangladesh are not good. There are reports of attacks on Hindus in Bangladesh, which made people more upset.
Hindu groups, including Bajrang Dal from Vasai area, reached the school quickly. They came with local police to stop any trouble. The groups said, "Only India's tricolour flag should fly on Indian soil." They removed the Bangladesh flag right away and gave a strict warning to the school management.
The school is in Panchal Nagar area. The video showed the flag near the boundary wall or premises. Some people on social media called it a "mockery of Hindus" and asked why a school in India would show a foreign flag. Others demanded strict action, like filing cases under strict laws.
The school has not given any official reply yet. A few people online said it might be a mistake or part of a school event, like Model United Nations (where students learn about different countries and put up their flags). But most posts and reports treated it as wrong and anti-national.
Police were there to keep peace, and no big fight happened. The flag was taken down fast. Many people online are still talking about it and asking for more checks on what schools teach kids about patriotism.
This news shows how sensitive people feel about national flags and pride right now.
Only the Indian flag should be shown with respect in India, say the protesters.
