Vande Mataram should be recited essentially by every Indian for two main reasons.One It has been the main source of Indian Indepenedence Struggle for patriots like Ashfaak Ullah Khan & many more. Second as it has been declared as our National Song since 1947.
All persons opposing this patriotic song or defaming it by making it optional should be punished as Anit Nationals. They are just making the jobs of terrorists easier!!!!!!
