Friends ! Let me first tell you, I have been brought up singing and feeling the essance of "vandemataram". I feel proud and excited while reciting this immortal piece of literature.
My request to all is please don't make it compulsory by virtue of law. one can not get respect by force. Make it a habit and customary like "Rashtra gan"in Maharashtra Theatres.
People who like will sing and if someone doesn't like let him not. As someone rightly said, we have to chose our muslim friend either APJ kalam or Dawood. lets choose APJ. Please don't turn APJ's to Dawood's.
My personal experience says most/almost all muslims are india centric and we should not doubt it. It hurts them. Lets spread love and harmony.
lets not doubt whether muslims or other communities love their mother land or not, I feel they do as I do. And if someone in majority feel they don't respect their mother land, let them not. They have equal right to live at this land as our brothers n sisters unless they do not commit any anti-national act and this is true for everyone in this country.
Lets not be cynical in our approach.
WE ARE ALL INDIANS and WE STRIVE TO MAKE IT BETTER.
