Your views on Cell phone Ring Tones used by Indian consumers please.
Mobile phones/Cell phone whatever name you call it, it has become an essential part of our everyday life.
In India, it is common for people to take calls inside a movie theater , hospitals, Temples, marriages etc and they use it, unmindful of the disturbance it makes to others; users just pick up the phone when it rings as they don’t follow any rules , thinking it is an important call ; we have seen the bride or the bride groom parents receiving a call from US/Australia/ or other places to wish them, and the purohits also stops all the proceedings so as to allow the conversation to take place, and then resume his duty.
Even when one is visiting a relative/ friend’s home to pay his respect for a departed person, they do not swatch off the cell, or keep it in silent mode; and when it rings with a cine music ring tone on such occasions, the user is embarrassed.
Is this because Indians are more ignorant about their surroundings?
Another point is that, in many cell phones ring tones ,sacred verses from Bhagavat Gita, Gayathri mantra, and other Bhakthi songs are introduced, although the sanctity of the mantras are not lost, we are forced to hear these ring tones on some inappropriate times.
Is this is because Hindus are in general, more tolerant than other religious minded people?
Muslim clerics at a leading seminary in India have asked people not to use verses from the Quran as ringtones for their mobile phones, saying the practice violates Islamic law, reports the AP. "Quran verses "are not meant for entertainment,"

I am not aware of any prohibitory orders issued by any Christian Churches, prohibiting using of any Christian prayers in Cell phone ring tones.
Unwanted sales calls, SMS are very easy to spread to Indian Cell phone users, compared to WEST.
Kindly share your views on this, Thanks.
