During the Irish War of Independence in 1921, the colonial British Government had
declared a state of martial law in many Irish counties. On 28 April a public notice
warned the people of Tipperary that “a civilian with his hands in his pockets is
necessarily an object of suspicion, and renders him liable to arrest and runs the
risk of coming under fire.” This rule was heavily protested by Irish members, and
even today, it is a symbol of Irish protest against the English monarchy.

After the recent Oscars, a certain photo from back in 2017 was discovered of a
certain Irish actor meeting Prince Harry with his hands in his pockets during the
screening of his film. The actor has been openly proud about his Irish heritage,

The Tutari is a musical instrument commonly seen in
Maharashtra. The livelihood of tutari players depends mostly on
performances at weddings and housewarming ceremonies,
inaugurations of new ventures, festivals, etc. When the election
season kicks in, tutari players get invited by most political parties
to accompany the entry of a veteran leader or kick start their
speeches. The sound of a tutari evokes strong emotions in any
Maharashtrian audience as a symbol of strength and courage.

diminished their electoral-season income. Tutari players stopped
getting calls from most political parties due to this decision.
