RE:vande mataram
by Bipin on Aug 28, 2006 12:43 PM

To all those whoe believe that "Jana Gana Mana..." is deragotary to India...and those who take pride in calling themselves "Hindus"...
Do you know that the very word "Hindu" has been coined by the Muslim invaders that too in despise and contempt(just as Britishers called Indians as "black..." or Indians took charm in calling Britishers "white monkeys"). When the Muslim invaders wanted to refer to the population in this Indian subcontinent as Sindhu people(or the people beyond the Sindhu river) they called it "Hindus" (In Arabic the consonant "H" is used with much of stress to express hatred or contempt). Yet there are lot of people who take "pride" in calling themselves as "Hindus" which is clearly an abuse.

We better shelve these non-issues as there are plenty of life and death problems required to be dealt with.
