I think they all should be kicked in the butts and asked to mind their own business.<BR/><BR/>As for Vande Mataram, I would sing that song whether it was dedicated to Allah, Jesus, Krishna or Shiva. Its not a religious bhajan. Its something that was the song for our freedom fighters. It was a song that helped inspire thousands of people to live and die for their country. I would sing that song proudly even if it was written in Spanish and I didnt understand a word of it - merely as a tribute to those brave men & women.<BR/><BR/>We seem to have an overly dumb minority who listens to everything that their clerics say. Its not their fault. The minorities have a very low literacy rate and its always easier to lure illiterates into these things. Educated Muslims sure wouldn't have any problems singing the Vande Mataram because they understand the significance of it. <BR/><BR/>I just wish we all stopped dragging religion into every issue that comes up in the news. It sucks. It really does.<BR/><BR/>Very well written & thought provoking post. Well done.<BR/><BR/>-PeAcE<BR/>--WiTh<BR/>---GuNsGuNshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16465447014985870946noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20299555.post-1157839604554499462006-09-09T15:06:00.000-07:002006-09-09T15:06:00.000-07:00@wb: Positive thinking is fine.

But blindly thinking everything is fine is stupidity.<BR/>I know that writing in a blog is not a solution, but I don't think in this present situation I can do anything more.<BR/>You are talking so positively.. so what have you done to improve the situation?<BR/>I never said we will never improve or anything like that.. I just pointed out what is happening "today". The more people know about it, the better. The power is in our hands!<BR/>Next time we Vote (I am assuming all of us vote), we know what to look for.<BR/>And by the way, there are lots of things going wrong around me.. I cannot rectify all of them!!! But If I see them and not even react to it, then that means I have "got-used-to" it.<BR/><BR/>And FYI..

They forget that "Vande Mataram" means "salute your mother"!<BR/><BR/>These people have no idea what they are doing. So, just ignore them. Vande Mataram is sacred to us and let's be that way.
