It is a joke to say someone will become more patriotic by singing bande mataram. I for one do not understand what is the meaning of this word Bande Mataram or the contents. One should also be given translation of this song many have been singing it without knowing the meaning of it. I thought this song was in Assami or orissa language all along ... it did not sound like Hindi . Someone recently told me it is in Bangla language.
