Kerala School Drops Vande Mataram from I-Day Programme as Radical Group Objects

[Echo_419]

In an incident that reeks of growing Taliban-like radicalism, a school in Kerala had to edit out the Vande Mataram song from its Independence Day programme on Friday, following threats from a political party that it is against the religious beliefs of a community.

The school management also reportedly asked students to not do the 'namaste', a common gesture of respect in India, in fear of threats from the Social Democratic Party of India (SDPI).

According to Hindustan Times, the TKM Centenary School in Kollam was to have a dance planned on Vande Mataram, which is a popular song played as a patriotic symbol on days such as the Independence Day. However, the school management allegedly replaced the song with an orchestra to avert any incident, though the principal claims that the song was removed so as not to "stress" the students.

However, the SDPI claimed that they had asked the school to not play the song.

"We approached the school management after a number of parents complained that some words in Vande Matraam and the gesture 'namaste' were against their religious belief. We only requested the school to respect their sentiment," SDPI leader AK Salahuddin told HT.

SDPI was formed in 2009 as a political wing of the Popular Front of India, and has had a controversial run in Kerala, with the state police often raiding their offices on suspicion of arms and weapons stockpiling by the members. PFI and SDPI were also chargesheeted by the National Investigation Agency, indicating their role in conducting arms training camps, according to an India Todayreport.



There was controversy over Vande Mataram in 2009 as well, when Muslim outfit Jamait-e-Ulema Hind had issued a fatwa against the song and had banned Muslims from singing it, citing that some of the verses go against the tenets of Islam, as reported by The Times of India.

But sane people should protest against this .Otherwise it will propagate wrong message.As far as I know there is no condemnation from Congress or IUML or even communists.Sane guys among Muslims dont take it seriously.But they should arise their voice against this .We cant trust the human minds probably our youths.We dont know whether it influence them.

From fight over Pork chops to banning Vande Matram, I see they are progressing gradually ... obviously towards extremism!! All in all looks like we are witnessing another UP in making!!!

 

[Supply&Demand]

First those MFs said that - We cannot sing that song, as it is offensive to our religion....

Now they are saying - You cannot sing the song, because it is offensive to my religion...

Can any one see this increase of intolerance of islamic fascist groups...?

Next will be you are hindu, that is offensive to our religion...

This is what is meant by pseudo-secularism.

Rajiv Gandhi capitulated to the Muslim fundoos to please the Muslim vote bank. Now in India, every religious person with their 'sentiments hurt' can squash books, movies because once you allow a religion leeway you cannot then in principle deny other religions.

If you don't like to sing the song, or it is offensive, don't sing it.
