Yes if you think reciting vande mataram makes you fundamentalist you are free to sing JanGanMan which was controversialy written in prace of Brotish King during the slavery days or you canm sing SareJahan se acha by a person who flew from India to Pakistan after partition.

Wow! Nilesh Your parents, especially your mother oughtta be proud of you. Does her name means shit to you?
For congress, Samajwadi and other secular parties national interest meant as Muslim interest. They do not bother even about national interest or Inetrest of community in which they have born. It's really very shamefull that we are having HRD minister as of this kind.
It's really wondering what exactly these secular parties have in thier mind.
They were not respecting even national song(Vande Mataram) . Every Indian should sing national song (Vande Mataram) irrespective of his comminity.
If any particular community do n't want to sing (Vande Mataram) means they do not feel Idia as their country and our Indian secular parties respect their views. It's really shame .........
I request all the Hindu youths to unite and fight against such activities. also bring awareness among the people....
Bharat mata ki jai.... Vande Mataram.. Jai Hind....
The song Vande Matram... as we know it was authored by Sri Bankim Chandra and made popular thru his famous book Santaan Vidroha, that aroused the intense anti British feelings. Because in the begining the Indian National Congress, though aspiring for freedom of the country, did not want to take such a pronounced anti british stand, it did not adopt the song as its theme song. It adopted 'Jhanda Oonchaa Rahe Hamaara' and later Jana Gana Mana.. as its theme song. However, Vande Matram.. continued to inspire all freedom fighters and martyers. Because it envisioned united and greater India, the separatist muslims did not like it.
As our late president Dr. Rajendra Prasad, said in the parliment that Vandemataram should be given same status as Jana Gana Mana, may be we should remove the phrases which depicts hindu goddess and be made as a national anthem.I hope muslims won't have any qualms over that after this.
Any case, singing the song with patriotic feeling does not imply that you follow Hinduism. Now it is time for Muslims to start accepting other faiths without quarelling against the facts. Those people's forefathers may once be Hindus, could have been changed forcibily by Moghul Emperors. In another sense, it is nothing wrong for the government to enforce this song., after all this is a Hindu country.
