Indian officials offended Nepal by inexplicably stopping its National Anthem in the middle at a South Asian Games event in Guwahati on Monday.

The incident occurred at the price distribution ceremony after the football finals between India and Nepal.

After the host country lost 1-2, Nepalese players lined up to receive their prizes. Defeating a Big Brother neighbour was a huge moment of pride for them.

But their joy was short-lived as the ceremonial rendition of the Nepal National Anthem was inexplicably cut off in the middle.

Though taken aback, Nepalese players continued to sing their Anthem.

The incident created anger in Nepal, a proud nation, which feels touchy when comes to its ties with India, often seen as an overbearing neighbour.

Nepal is still reeling from the impact of an economic blockade, which they allege was engineered by India.
