Won't waste my time reading this ghatiyapan(yes I know it must be ghatiya I don't need to read it)


Where does this need for "secularism" in songs go when there are beautiful sufi songs but hindu Bhajans are made into parodies?What kind of intolerance is this towards Hindus that they can't even tolerate songs on Hindu Devi Devta?And what is this ignorant need to use the word secular anywhere they deem fit?It seems to me that so many people weren't taught the meaning of secularism in school.


I love Namo Namo Shankara BTW.It is the best thing to come out of Bollywood.Amit Trivedi's version is more celebratory and Sumedha's version is so soothing.The lyrics are so beautiful,I remember once our Swamiji was listening to this song and to me his expressions seemed something like "I can't believe they are capable of making something like this"😆

OK so I did skim through the article and I wasn't wrong,they really are so intolerant.Kesariya and Jai Shree Ram(song from Ram Setu) are too direct or have unnecessary hindu undertones and motifs.👍🏼
