It’s sad and unfortunate that recitation of the Vande Mataram ,apparently,goes against the religious pathos of the Muslims.One fails to understand how can obeisance towards one’s nation can invite wrath of Allah,or,for that matter , downgrade his supremacy .It’s time our secular leaders,who harp about narrow -minded approach of Hinduism-oriented parties,to take note of disturbing patterns among certain sections of Muslim community.True,every religion has its own set of perceptions which are binding on its followers but does that allows one to puncture nationalism in such a blatant manner?
In fact,the Supreme court has come down heavily on numerous Hindu practices,much in tune with its progressive religious leaders ,which have lost their relevance in modern times.So why are the Muslims allowed to move ahead with medieval age mindset,allowing dominance of ideas which make mockery of Constitutional provisions ? It’s high time the Muslims give way to requirements of the present age backed by a change in mindset.If that’s not possible,let the Hindus be granted permission to manifest the ideas of governance laid down in the Vedas .
Interestingly,going by the logic of Imams AR Rehman ,whose soulful rendering Of Vande Mataram has turned him into darling of urban youths ,should be declared ” Kaafir” and therefore be outcasted with some fatwa?
