VANDE MATARAM (I PRAISE THEE MOTHER)

My regards  to all of my readers and thank you for giving me courage to write. Indian news papers are having "vande matarm" as a burning headlines from last two days, it started when an M.L.A of a political party in Maharashtra refuses to say vande mataram and he was expelled from the house. I have no concerns about legality of such order in house but these burning front headlines of Indian daily bring anxiety in me and thus made me zealous to write upon.

 Vande Mataram mean  "I praise thee, Mother" is a poem from Bankim Chandra Chattopadhyay's 1882 novel  Anandamath. It was written in Bengali and Sanskrit.   It is a hymn to the Mother Land. It played a vital role in the Indian independence movement, first sung in a political context by Rabindranath Tagore at the 1896 session of the Indian National Congress. After independence in 1947 India decided to adopt vande matarm as national anthem but is was disputed by other religion on different grounds.  Muslim on the ground  that it contain the praise of godess durga  a deity and Muslims are against the worship of any idol  there for India adopted "jan gan man " its national  anthem and " vande mataram" as  national song after the detailed discussion in the house here is the point from where "vande mataram" became the matter of political war. 

Different  religious sects have different views on this hymn  like wise 

Muslim

 Many Muslim organisations in India have declared fatwas against singing Vande Mataram, due to the song giving a notion of worshipping Mother India, which they consider to be shirk (polytheism).

Sikh 

Shiromani Gurdwara Parbandhak Committee (SGPC), the paramount representative body in the Sikh Panth, requested that the Sikhs not sing Vande Mataram in the schools and institutions on its centenary on 7 September 2006. SGPC head, Avtar Singh Makkar, expressed concern that "imposing a song that reflected just one religion was bound to hurt the sentiments of religious minorities. The Delhi Sikh Gurudwara Management Committee (DSGMC) has called singing of 'Vande Mataram' against Sikh tenets  as the Sikhs sought 'sarbat da bhala' (universal welfare)."

Christian view

Cyprian Kullu from Jharkhand stated in an interview with AsiaNews: "The song is a part of our history and national festivity and religion should not be dragged into such mundane things. The Vande Mataram is simply a national song without any connotation that could violate the tenets of any religion. However, some Christian institutions such as Our Lady of Fatima Convent School in Patiala did not sing the song on its 100th anniversary as mandated by the state.

I do not understand why people have problem with vande mataram   i don not know much about Sikh and christian but as per  Muslim  i do not think by simply saying vande matram it will take away your religion as Quran it self says that mother have a heaven in its feet, why do you not under stand that mother include your mother land also and praising your mother is not anti religious as there is Hadees of phrofit mohammmad (SAW) in which he stated that " if i will be offering my namaz and my mother will call me i will leave my namaz and will go for mother call"  this is the status of mother in Islam.so calling "bharat ma ki jai" or "vande mataram " is not anti religious. All India Sunni Ulema Board on 6 September 2006, issued a fatwa that the Muslims can sing the first two verses of the song. The Board president Moulana Mufti Syed Shah Badruddin Qadri Aljeelani said that "If you bow at the feet of your mother with respect, it is not shirk but only respect." so the argument that it is anti religious rest here.

but being a law aspirant i can not stop my self to check the constitutional  legality of  not singing vande mataram and in this context supreme court of India in 1988 in   bijoe emmanuel v state of kerala   stated that right to freedom of  speech in article 19(a)(1) include right to remain silent also and if any one is not singing national anthem you can not compel him to do so Mere standing in respect of it is good in law.

from the above discussion i want to say that firstly saying vande mataram is not at all anti religious and secondly if any one refuses to do so than he is not anti  national. the real traitors are those who are playing politics on this. Raising slogan that "Desh me rehna hai kutto toh vande mataram kehna hoga"( if want to live in nation , say vande matram you rascals) is anti national. The Muslim politicians saying that no Muslim will say vande mataram are real anti national because you can not decide the will of other. I am Muslim and i says "vande mataram" "bharat mata ki jai"(live long India i  praise you my mother land). I beg you all cheap headed politicians that stop all this. Stop hitting on secularity    of my nation  just for your personal  goods. Try to focus on the development of nation we have so many other big problems to handle over so stop deciding people wills or what they have to eat and what they have to wear. Where are  you taking to nation.

I again says   VANDE MATARAM
