Being Hindu, I don't find anything objectionable in just mouthing 'Durga', 'Allah'. Hoever, if a perfectly peaceful person refuses to mouth these words, I don't have much problem.>>>> ...That's the crux of the problem Shailesh! We Hindus are brought up in the secular environment, so mouthing such platitude, we indirectly help in diluting our religion. Whereas the fanatics succeed in insisting that 'their religion is above state', which MUST NOT be tolerated at any cost! One country, one law ..is the simple solution!! But the vote-bank mongers have conveniently forgotten it & have hardened the lines of SC/ST/NT/OBC/Shia/Sunnee etc.etc. --- हज ला जाताना सबसिडी जरूर द्यावी. किम्बहुना त्यान्ची सरकारी खर्चाने शाही बडदास्त ठेवावी फक्त एक अट असावी या जाण्याला येणे नाही. >>> लाखात एक बोललात कुलकर्णी!

I don't see any value in arguing 'practise intolerance to weed out intolerance'. If I believe, my practises are fair, why should I change my behavior? I also don't think we are so 'fair' as explained in my above post (regarding preferring cast over religion/region/nation). The behavior that we accuse them of, is practised by us also.

Shailesh:We are mixing issues here. If a Hindu doesn't object singing 'alla, rahim, akabar' in so many songs, why whould an Indian muslim object to singing the most-patriotic song of Vande Mataram with some stanzas referring to the worship of Goddess Durga??? Their ----- religion also tells that there is NO place of 'kaafirs' (i.e. any non-muslim) in the whole world. Their clear dictat is 'we will either convert you or kill you'. Do you want to practise tolerance here?? How much 'fair' we can be with their barbaric religion??? It is so hip & fashionable to be pseudo-secular. But mark my words, if nothing concrete is done, our progeny after 50 years would be either Akabar or Anthony, Aayesha or Annie!! Jammu-Kashmir, Kerala & the whole of North-East India bear the testimonial of this bitter truth!!!
|
Since you think, we are mixing issues; let's keep aside argument on faith and just talk about insistance on singing Vande Mataram. My only question is, does it make a person any better by merelly reciting certain words. And I'll appreciate if you can continue this argument w/o getting judgemental.

Oath is not mere recital. It carries punishment if you break it. Anyway. If I am allowed to speculate; we, Hindu, do not mind reciting 'Allah' because we accept that the God can be in any form. Muslims, as against, believe in one form and that form happens to be abstract, shapeless. Factually, the opposition is mere divisive politics, based on this technicality. And as are the pro arguments. What I'm trying to say, we need to address the objectionable behavior and fix that. Forcing something, and something irrelevant, is not going to address this problem. As for not writing in devnagari, the typing gets too distracting for me, especially when I'm in deep argument like this.

But that is only at the philosohical level or at symantic level. As Limbu aptly put it, it has much more significance beyond words. Faith, patriotism though relative terms, they matter a lot! (It is like asking 'what was wrong with British rule? Does it matter who rules? Does it matter if my country is attcked? After all it is 'vasudhaiv kutumbakam'!) Or, ask soldiers, freedom-fighters & any Indian worth-his-salt the significance of Vande Mataram. Those words have TRANSCENDED the mundane meaning & reached ETHERAL quality of hymns! You are saying, "does it make a person any better by merelly reciting certain words?" ... Stretching this logic a bit, one can say, "does it make a country any better by merely drawing boundaries on earth?" Nehru donated land to Chinese by the same stupid logic! (saying, even grass doesn't grow on such a barren land, what is the use? so give it so Chinese!) NO SIR, we need to stick to some values, have strong faith in our country, its anthem & monuments. A country is not a mere collection of people, nor it is a piece of land. It is a rich collection of people passionately united to SAVE their motherland from evil eyes, FIGHT for its lawful existence & PROSPER in their cherished MOTHERLAND! Long Live भारत !!!

You making a speech like a politician. For a moment, don't get emotional and think rationally. What is important for us? Inducing and maintaining love for mother-land. How do we go about it? I don't see it happening by seemingly forcing it on a set of people. Seemingly because, that set of people, for long, for a correct reason or not, refused to carry it out. The action is going to be percieved as forced. I don't see it inducing love for BHARAT-MATA. The effect is going to be exactly opposite. So what have you ahieved, besides actually fulfilling the wish of those politicians who started this game.

What is important for us? Inducing and maintaining love for mother-land. How do we go about it? >>> Exactly! There are ways to inculcate patriotism right from childhood. Singing anthem, reciting pledge are all important tools to achieve that objective. There was a very good attempt during NDA regime, but it was crassly branded as 'fascist exercise'! If our politicians give mixed signals (like, it is ok not to sing anthem or it is ok not to recite pledge ins school), these elements get a boost in their evil agenda. Nothing wrong in coercion as long as it is for collective right for the state! Our unncessarily tolerance (read, फाजिल लाड! ) have motivated these scumbags to go further ahead. To top it all, the so-called 'विचारवंत आणि बुद्धीवादी amongst us are supporting their cause indirectly/directly!

By politician, I was actually referring to Jinnah. There is link in Archive to Indian Express article on history of Vande Mataram. Jinnah initially opposed on technical grounds. Nehru went back with proposal to sing first 2 stanzas which shouldn't have been objectionable. Jinnah still refused for political reasons. It doesn't take genious to realise why. Unfortunately, the pro-argument are actually falling in this same trap of divisiveness. BTW, can't you continue an argument without mocking the people who have different opinion?

You are not getting it. See, we have a LONG history of giving, a long history of yielding, a long hisotory of tolerance. e.g. your own example of Jinnah-Nehru arguments over Vande Mataram, Gandhi's stupid insistence of giving Rs. 55 crores to Pakistan (when it was equivalent of almost 30% of our own tiny budget at that time!), acceptance of shariat court, doling out subsidy to Haaj & madrasaa. The list is endless. (& what you got in return?? .. Millions of Hindus killed in partition riots, scores of Mumbai/Bhiwandi/Maalegaon/Surat/Ahmedabad riots, Mumbai bomb-blast (twice) & who knows, a conspiracy could be hatching at this very moment somewhere in Mumbai/Pune/Aurangabad/Beed/Maalegaon/Shrirampur (see, how they've infiltrated the entire state!) ..If we want to put a full-stop to such tragic deaths of thousands of such innocent Indians, it is high time that we put an end to such docile, stupid tolerance! It is high time that we put our foot firm & proclaim, this is the way. Love it or leave it!!!

To my mind, we need different/accomodative solutions for these long running wounds. W/o them, in my mind, we will further injure our state. Some of the examples you have quoted are quite incorrect. The 55mln wasn't a donation. When a nation devided, the resources available were devided, including presidential horses. The money was theirs. Nehru and Patel blocked the money for (correct) fear of that getting routed to military. Yet, that money was still theirs. Gandhi, being true moralist, opposed the blocking. I certainly admire him for following certain ethics in life.

I don't have that URL right now. But it was SHEER GOODWILL GESTURE on the part of some of our 'tolerant' leaders that time! & It wasn't 55 Mln as you wrongly put it, it was 55 crores, i.e. 550 Millions. I don't want to deviate the discussion by dragging Gandhi's ethics (or, absence of it) into this.

चर्चेचा परिसंहार्: १. भारताने अल्पसंख्यांकाचे लांगुलचालन (फाजिल लाड) सत्वर थांबवले पाहिजेत. २. वंदे मातरम मुळे जरी कोणत्या धर्माच्या भावना दुखावल्या गेल्या असल्या तरी 'मातृ-भुमी ही धर्मापेक्षाही श्रेष्ठ असते' या न्यायाने ते मुक्त-कंठे गावे. ३. अन्यथा आपापल्या धर्माला कुरवाळत आनंदाने देश-निर्गमन करावे. ता.क. - 'अमृताते पैजा जिंकणारं मराठी' वापरलंय मूडी
