my religion asks me to oppress lower caste but I dont do it, I am beyond such crap... but enough about me.Again how does it matter who wrote the song ? is anyone asking you to worship Bumkin chandra Chaterjee ? Nobody even knows who he is, most people do not even knows his name. No body has read Anandmatt and no body is asking anyone to read it either. Its a forgotten work of fiction.
The movie made on that book makes no negative reference to muslims. All those are forgotten in the mist of history.
'Vande Mataram' however is a well known inspirational song of freedom much loved and admired by almost all Indians. Before independence it was loved by many Muslims too.
Congress adopted the song because that was the demand of the people of India and they as representative of the people did what the people asked them to do.
In fact 'Vande Mataram' was selected to be the National Anthem by a vast Majority. It was Nehru who intervened and deflected the majority sentiment and adopted 'Jana Gana Mana' as the Anthem.
The mistake was in not adopting it as the National Anthem keeping in view the muslim blackmail. But to continue to extend that irrational blackmail till the end of eternity will be the mistake.
LOL..... the very existence of Article 370 and the ethnic cleansing of Hindus from Kashmir is a million times worse than any adaptation of any song
I will welcome a song calling all hindus swine's if they will abolish 370 and welcome back hindus into their society.
You sure have a twisted sense of justice. No doubt inspired by your religion.

j&k govt did not do ethnic cleansing, it was ruled by center when the alleged events happened.. anyway I dont need to defend j&k govt, I dont work for them, I was just giving a similar situation in which muslims were brutalized by hindu king and whether in current time it will be okey to do something similar there(adopting a song written by divisive person of a bygone era, no matter how real and relevant his experience might be)
I call it majoritarianism because there was massive demand from minority community against it. its insensitive to a group of people, not merely against a opposite viewpoint.Democracy works on Majoritarianism, and it does not have to be apologetic about it.
There were plenty of objection to 'Jana Gana Mana' too, FAR more than 'Vande Mataram'. Its funny how you don't bring in Majoritarianism when it suites your agenda.
By your logic, we will never have a song suitable to be National Anthem or even a constitution. There is always someone who will find faults with it.
But the idea is that once it is adopted, we put aside our difference and opinion and embrace it. Only the people who reject 'Vande Mataram' wants to selectively embrace India.
