Those who are not willing to recite Vande Mataram do not have any respect for India itself! How reciting "Vande Mataram..." can demean Allah? Is there any comparison between the God of a religion and the country? Is the religion above the nation? If anybody thinks that their love to the religion is always higher than their nation then let them find a land where their religion is above nationality and migrate there.
The references to the Hindu godess "Durga" have already been deleted in the Two stanza version. It now only says beautiful things about our motherland. "Vande mataram" is like saying "Assalam Valekum Amma" to the motherland. What is wrong in that? There must be atleast a few dozen National Anthems calling their nation as "Motherland or Fatherland". It is a greeting and welwishing of the nation with highest regards. If there was no mother, there could not be any child. Likewise, if there was no motherland, there would not be any citizen.
I can be a Hindu, I can be a Muslim, I can be a Sikh, I can be a Christian residind in India but I am never an Indian.So I will not sing "Vande Mataram"! That is the truth.
