The message of this entire episode was to spread peace and harmony and here we are doing the exact opposite. Why dont we look at this from a more optimistic point of view?
Even the indian patriotic songs did not have any usage of words like India, Bharat, Hindustan. I mean there are so many amazing songs like "Bharat Humko Jaan se Pyara hai" or "I love my India" or "Sabse aage hoge Hindustani". These are a few hard to render type of songs which I kept wondering why no one had sung any of these when we have such excellent singers. Then I came across this post and realized that Zee was totally justified in doing so.
By saying either of the country is best, there is gonna be no solution coming out. Rather, keep it as clean as possible. I would like to applaud Zee for atleast letting them sing the patriotic songs of pakistan with a little tweek in the lyrics.
