I cant express how sad & letdown I feel after this controversy. Its the same shame we are going through after people reject to voice Vandemataram. I cant belive why cant this wonderful anthem raise patriotism in people's mind and not religious feelings. I refer to both Muslims and Hindus, If muslims want to avoid reciting Vandemataram it would be disrespect to Mother India ( I hope muslims realise the importance of Mother as they belive heavan-Jannath is in her feet). And it would be a shame if Hindu's try to raise religious feelings with this Anthem as this will take away the patriotism attached with Vandemataram and make it just a religious issue. We cant forget the sacrifices by the legendary muslim leaders for our Freedom, I am sure my muslim brothers will feel the same pride in Singing Vandemataram as our legendary muslim leaders felt ealrier, and as Our great musician A.R.Rehaman feels and as proud as Our president Mr.Kalam feels.
Jai hind, Jai bharath, Cheers to Hindu Muslim unity, I am rpoud to say VANDEMATARAM & hope you do aswell.
