From Puranic Ages land is treated as a mother and respected in india. It is not that after independence we preached it as a mother and give our offerings. So all those who lives in india should respect india as mother and respect in its own tradition. Not in an modified european or arabian style. Muslims should become indian muslims and not any saudi muslims. They can freely follow their religion in our country by respecting the mother culture.
VandeMataram is to be made our national song by an official order. Otherwise tommorrow some muslims will feel very miserable to call Gandhiji a Mahatma since Atma is the word originated from sanskrit and it means soul and muslims dont believe in souls. Dont make a climate where some citizens can freely say "sing jana gana mana..." if you need it or else modify it in urdu or arabic.
Muslims enjoy freedom and due respect in india than any other country. So let muslims change their attitude to become indian muslims.
Nothing is out from india philosophy. Even Allah... "The Indian Verse of Allah is Parabrahma" like hindi and urdu

Let me tell u that, in saudi there are more than a million expats from india, 100s of thousand are non muslim, But I never heard or read an incident of forcing them to read any verse from quran.
Previously I ofcourse I agree, that they were forced to pray, when it is time to pray. But as the people get educated they came to know that forcing anybody to do anything is wrong, so it has stop almost everywhere.
I just want to say that, the things which are going on now in our country is not the one which is done by literate people. I request everybody that feel free & let everybody feel free. Because we are a republican nation. Jai Hind. May India be victoriuos in every venture. This is a wish of a muslim and dua to Allah.
Peace be on earth. Just embrace it. It is in front of everybody.

Hi Asif, I think immigrants/expats are different from citizens. No foreign muslim was asked to sing Vande Mataram..
