Should the word 'Sindh' in our national anthem be replaced by some other word or the name of an Indian state???
Only a jobless person.........who has nothing else to do in life apart from ........well ....... staying alive...... would have thought of such an atrocious thing.
What amazes me the most is the fact that even the Supreme Court ....... India's apex institution on law order has taken this issue seriously. It has decided to seek a response from the Center in Public Interest.
Public Interest????
How many of us really bothered to ponder on this issue.....
And believe me there is nothing to think about......
At this point of time miliions of cases are pending in the high courts & other law enforcement agencies.
Why burden the judiciary with a case which is at best insignificant and at worse irrelevant ?
According to the petition the presence of the word Sindh in our national anthem is anomalous, both geographically and politically. This petition is based on the fact as Sindh the region is in Pakistan, singing in praises in of land belonging to a foreign nation would hurt the sentiments of all right thinking Indians.
Bullshit !!!Absolute f****** shit.
Here is my viewpoint......
The word Sindh in the national anthem doesnot have any particular geographical significance.
The same should be applied to the entire anthem. It should be regarded essentially as hymns or a song that expresses the true patrotic feeling of an Indian.
Take the case of Britain's national anthem 'God save the queen'. The poem was written when Britain had large colonies in the east. Does that mean in the post colonial era their anthem needs to be changed.
Another instance could be of Singapore's anthem 'Majulah Singapurah'. This anthem is written in Malay.......a language most Sinaporeans don't understand.
As seen above, it is the poetry & patriotism rather than ground realities that dictate the choice. The literal meanings of the word do not always determine the sentiments national anthem evoke. A country as diverse as ours, can only be united by the patriotic feeling that is invioked through our national anthem.
Chopping and changing it may not mean much to the common man........ but it would be an insult to the Constituent Assembly comprisisng of emminent personalities who on 15 Aug 1947 adopted Rabindranath Tagore's rousing invocation of India's ...........
New Spirit......
