We are Muslims & we are Proud to be INDIANS. Islam teaches to protect the homeland in which an individual is born & lives. We love our motherland INDIA.
India is one of the biggest democratic country in the world & as such its citizens should not be forced to sing or recite a particular song. Instead it should be left to the individual to sing or not to sing, every person is free to perform his freedom of expression.
Those who say that one who doesn't sing vande mataram are traitors, for them let me remind patriotism doesn't come by singing a particular song, patriotism is something which is in our blood & heart. History is best proof that muslims are given their blood to this country whenever the situation demands. Infact muslim have played an integral & important role in the freedom strugle of india.
Those politcical parties who are making hue and cry to make it mandatory are doing so only to gain political mileage and to appease a particular section of people. By wasting time & creating trouble in the parliment on such issue's. They are wasting crores of rupees of tax payers instead of concentrating on the growth & development of this country.
