Singing or not singing any song does not make one less or more patriotic. And please grow from your dogmatic nationalism. Contibution to society and culture and above all humanity is more important than any song. If you love 'Bharat Mata', then feel free to do so. Its not congress or bjp or any party but incompassionate fools that ruin things. Anyways, nothing in life should be mandatory. i do not need to sing a song to prove to anybody how i feel about my country. neither should anybody else. BTW how many of you even know the lyrics of Vande Matram!
