Hello friends,
What is your opinion about the 'Vande Mataram' controversy going on in India currently?.....
Is it any wrong to make our national anthem compulsory to sing at school?.....
Why do we need to make it compulsory and why does it not come naturally (whether hindu or muslim) to sing it as a pride?
Why some part of muslim community (the ones who are opposing) takes it as an offence to sing the national song?
Please share your views. And remember to not make religious or hurtful comments. Let us just have a healthy discussion.

| Latin Transliteration Vande Mataram!(2) Sujalam, suphalam, malayaja shitalam, Shasyashyamalam, Mataram! Vande Mataram! Shubhrajyotsna pulakitayaminim Phullakusumita drumadala shobhinim Suhasinim sumadhura bhashinim, Sukhadam varadam, Mataram! Vande Mataram!(2) English Translation (By Aurobindo Ghosh) I bow to thee, Mother, richly-watered, richly-fruited cool with the winds of the south, dark with the crops of the harvests, The Mother! Her nights rejoicing in the glory of the moonlight her lands clothed beautifully with her trees in flowering bloom sweet of laughter, sweet of speech The Mother, giver of boons, giver of bliss! Lyrics: Bankim Chandra Chaterjee |
