Simply means 'Salute the nation'.. i am just so bored with these issues being brewed throughout the nation again and again... I think the public should never support these kind of political harrassment of our heiratge and and culture.Time is the witness of our history no matter the various invasions and cultural bombardments ...indian people have kept on living lives as friends/brothers..muslim/hindu/sikh/isaai and many others and cultures have blended.. I think every indian no matter his caste or creed should value the Indian heritage and tradition which is so rich and to that one has to understand 'Sanskrit', 'vedas','upanishads' etc.It is countless..I am sure everyone understands this is not religion but all talk about life and the way to live it..if people misjudge it as religious books then they are wrong.... There is just one thing to understand if one is Indian and is proud to be an indian then should be proud enough to sing Vande Mataram or Sare jahan se accha the same...and at the same time take some effort to understand its meaning..and also the era when these songs were penned. A person is born as a human and HUMANITY is what he should follow and practice
