hi guyz,

the king came across a very disturbing piece of news that a islamic organization has banned muslims from singing vandemataram. another dissapointing thing is chidambaram who is our finance minister was present in a congregation where this was being discussed. he conveniently avoided saying anything in this regard.

we know how vandemataram came into existence. there was many muslims who sang vandemataram during our freedom struggle along with the hindus. wht is ur say in this issue. is it right to ban such an important song which has an emotional value to it.

All religions should teach unity and brotherhood and not look at other religions with suspicion. Most followers of religions do have tolerence and understanding, but some wayward religious leaders and politicians love to cause problems for personal gain.

Vande Mataram
sujalaam
suphalaam
malayaja sheethalam
shashya shyamalaam
Maataram, vande maataram
Shubhra jothsana pulakitha yaminim
Phulla kusumitat drumah dala shobhinim
Suhasinim, Sumadhura bhAshinim
sukhadaam varadhaam, maataram
Vande mataraam

My obeisance to Mother India!
With flowing beneficial waters
Filled with choicest fruits
With cooling breeze
Green with the harvest
O mother! My obeisance to you!
Ecstatic moonlit nights
The plants blooming with flowers
Sweet speaker of sweet languages
Fount of blessings,
Mother, I salute you!..

I dont understand any probs with song! Whos that stupid muslim who dont respect their own country...in Quran itself mention to love their mother land!

The Islamic religious institutions have asked not to sing Vande Mataram. So, let the muslims not sing it, let them recite the poem. 😛

No, it's because in the song one is worshipping or showing respect to one's country. And they're against worshipping anything other than 'Allah'.

Yes perhaps they should all sing a Rafi hit from Baiju Bawra.😆

The reason is because the song worships the country, the mother. According to the Muslim religious leaders then, those stanza's were not ok, they should respect the country, but worshipping was another story, they worship only Allah so they were removed 3 of the offending stanza's in 1930's.
Fast Forward to 1990's. New set of Muslim leaders claiming to be true'er muslims banned even the remaining 2 stanza's that currently constitute Vande Maataram. BJP when it came into rule, made it an issue, some places made it mandatory.
Dont remember the name of the organization, they came out and created a fatwa against "Vande Maataram" Fatwa here means banning its constituents from singing it.Now it is upon the followers of the religion to decide if they feel the 2 stanza's actually are against the teachings of Islam and whether to obey the religion over singing the national song.
70 years ago, the parent of BJP had the same position as what the BJP/RSS today has, but the Muslim relgious folks certainly have become more hardlined than their predecessors in 1930's, Frighteningly most of them went on to form a flourishing nation called Pakistan
