Should The Sikhs Be Singing Vande Mataram?

[dhan_dhan_sikhi]

Vande mataram is an abstract written in the praise of Durga Mata of the Hindu Faith and is taken from the novel Anand Math written by Bankim Chander Chatterjee.

Is this India's secularism?

Should the sikhs who have some self respect and dignity left in them be singing this?

er..... maybe not cos it is kind of like we r sikhs not indians. dunno.

but i remember my mate sat down during grad ceremony when everyone stood for the national anthem in the uk, maybe what does everyone else think?

Why sing Vande Mataram when Guru Ji has given us such a brilliant national anthem...

Deh Shiva Bar Mohe Ehay

The point i want to make is that is it fair for a secular country whose people sing praises of the diversity of the country to have the national song based on the majority religion of that country.

In india "bharat mata" is worshipped as "durga mata" and hence this song.

The concept of bharat mata(mother india) in itself is a hindu concept.

On one hand the supreme court judges declare that state of india has no religion and sikhs are part of broader hindu faith and on the other hand the same nation's national song is based on the majority religion.

Sorry for being harsh,but I very strongly feel that majority of India is not worth ruling an inch and MUSLIM is the only MEDICINE of the majority of India because our gurus have made us toooooooo good to have any form of association with these kind of HYPOCRITICAL people and their PHONEY nation.

Sangat Singh Ji has very rightly said that "the only thing that hindus have learnt from history is that THEY CANT LEARN ANYTHING".

Saray jaahan Saay Raadhy Hindustan Hamrra.

Radhi means useless. About your friend who refused to stand for the national anthem, one of my friends when he graduated in the 90's was getting his degree from Princess Anne and he just walked past her and took the degree and didn't even acknowledge or shake her hand. He said he was going to do the splits in front of her but he chickened out

Pyare jio, may be the question worth asking is why when India in its roots was a secular nation, then why in India is it more commonly referred to as Hindustan?

Then why are distinct ethnic minorities such as Sikhs recognised by its constitution?

Then why Sikhs, the group that gave the most sacrifices in its creation, and also the wars that protected it from its neighbours, were themselves victims of genocidal programmes initiated by the Brahmin dominated Government.
