Vande mataram
by Muzzy on Sep 07, 2006 08:33 PM   Permalink

I dont think the issue here is of patriotism. Its about forcing ones will on the other. Being Muslim I dont have problem in reciting coz I know that I am not offending my religion. Muslim cannot be called traitors just cos some of them dont want to recite it. In south most of ppl cannot speak or read Hindi. Y arent they called traitors & asked them to prove their patriotism. Patriostism is not proved by reciting a song but by deeds to make your country a better to live in. The politicians have done nothing to help the common ppl but yes they are more patriotic than a Muslim that does not recite Vande matram. The whole issue is c**p, raked up to get freely publicity.
Deep in my heart I know that I love my country's every inch of land, mountains, air, rain, its past & present. Yes my country is not as pos has USA or as beautiful as Switzerland, as futuristic as Singapore but yes it is my country. And I am proud of it. I always pray for prosterity of my family & my country as well.

I dont have to prove anyone anything. And no one can demand anything from me.
