Politicians and Vande Mataram!!
by athena on Sep 07, 2006 10:21 PM   Permalink | Hide replies

This is the weirdest thing to keep fighting about! Imagine for all those decades people sang the song and today some people on the claim of being religious, are finding fault with it. Does this mean that all the people before of any religion who sang the song were fools! I would consider they imbibed the true spirit of Indianism than us today who claim to support our country! What politicians are trying to do is to gain publicity. These politicians spend valuable time in the parliament playing with the hard earned tax payers money, not knowing the value of it, not knowing the hard work people put in it!! When will some educated Indians enter politics!! First it was the British trying to split us up, now it is these politicians wrapped up in all their luxuries claiming to be supportive of the common mans cause. As if these people really care what is been sung or what happens in the country! Hypocrites of the first order!!!

Dear Sir,
The song Vande Matharam inspired many freedom fighters during those days of freedom struggle. When it inspired us, it was not the meaning rather than slogan which touched all our hearts. Now the song inspired politicians like VP and Arjun Singh. And today politicians are doing post mortem of the song and extracting all sorts of conclusions as per their preferences.
As you mentioned let us not carried by all that. We are all Indians and let us work towards other serious issues, and make India the greatest in the world. If we are in that direction we will definitely have another or even Vandematharam itself that can make all of us united without bothering about the in and out of song's meaning.
Best regards,
Raja Mohan
