2014 Glasgow CWG -Indian flag being held upside down

A grab from the official song of the Commonwealth Games shows the Indian Tricolour being held upside down

The 20th Commonwealth Games have kicked an early storm after the official video showed the Indian flag being held upside down.
The national flag code states that the tricolour "shall not be intentionally displayed with the saffron down." 
Indian fans have reacted strongly over the error in the video. The official song titled Let the Games Begin is also the Glasgow Children's 2014 Anthem for UNICEF.
The song features the flags of all the participating countries but the makers have blundered while showcasing the tri-colour.
India's chef de mission Raj Singh said he will write to the organising committee of the Glasgow Commonwealth Games about the error and that the changes will be made immediately.
