What we see here is a taliban style interpretation of "vande mataram".Firstly "i bow to thee" can either mean bowing out of submission(as muslims bow five times a day)and bowing out of respect(like indians bow their heads before teachers and chinese bows at each other,where no submission is meant)And mother here can means mythical bharatmata or just " mother land".If i mean "i respect you motherland"is there any shirk in it?I am 100%sure muslims mean only "i respect you mother land"when they sing that song.Don't islam teaches that ones action will be judged on his intention? please refrain from calling them munafiqs/kafir for singing that
A a lot of pakistani groups have damaged the image of islam and stability of pakistan by calling some other groups (and sometimes establishment) kafirs and killing and bombing whom they consider kafirs.If you guys haven't learned anything from that,from the weekly fireworks,please continue to do so but please leave indian muslims out of it.
What i mean to say is calling someone else munafiqs without knowing their heart will create problems which can evidently be seen in present state of pakistan.So "can indian muslims sing vande mataram"is to be decided based on their interpretation of this song,quran and sunnah and not by some takfiri pakistanis who are famous for killing each other/bombing sufi shrines/bombing religious centres and processions of opposite sects etc accusing them of takfir.I request mods to close this thread because the question"can xxxx do xxxx islamically" is one of the root causes of many troubles in pakistan and else where.
