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.

THE INDIAN NATIONAL SONG

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
Music: Rabindranath Tagore
Written: 1875
Composed: 1896
Adopted: 1950
