Veri: LOL...wiki again! Never heard abt any of those groups raising an objection against the national song. mind giving some references ?(other than a sweeping statement ). Again, I have not heard them declaring bans on the national song. Have you? and millions from the very same groups marched as one, unarmed against armed battalions,to the same slogan before 1947.
About the Durga reference. Look up 'metaphor'.
Your belief has a problem with the country's culture? Fine. I am all for having something very clinical, impersonal and antiseptic, for a national song ,if thats the price for keeping peace. Lets have A.R Rahman compose music for a non-offending passage from our constituition or even penal code. Forget all that freedom era literature. and,Yeah we will have a referendum on which section and article to choose for the purpose.
Lets start with the national anthem too and add all the other states instead of just saying "Punjab, Sind, Gujurat and Maratha Dravid and Orissa and Bengal".and then why is the anthem in just one language. lets have one for every language group. and whats this whole 'bhagya vidhaata' thing about? Wont it offend atheists? lets change that too, right?
On a positive note, I take it as the proof that india can confirm its position in the elite band of 'modern' nations where being a minority means you can question/discard any national symbol with impunity without being questioned for disrespect towards national symbols that have been adopted by its constituition.
