Idea of INDIA Under Assault

Before independence, the Congress sacrificed the cultural and
civilisational content of Vande Mataram, which even in its truncated
form is nothing but a hymnal tribute to an idyllic Mother India, on the
altar of the Muslim League's separatist politics. We see a similar
capitulation today with the Congress declaring, in response to the
ulema's rant against Vande Mataram, that it is not compulsory to sing
the National Song.



Soon, it will be the turn of the National Anthem, and then the idea of
India as a nation and a nation-state. No price, it would seem, is too
high to pay in order to keep the ulema in good humour.
