The fatwa against Rishi Bankim Chandra Chattopadhyay’s ‘Vande Mataram’ is not without history and can be traced to Congress’s capitulation in the face of Islamist opposition. In 1923, the Congress met at Kakinada and Maulana Mohamed Ali was brought to the venue in a procession led by a raucous band. As was the practice, the session was scheduled to begin with a rendition of ‘Vande Mataram’ by Pandit Vishnu Digamabar Paluskar. When Pandit Paluskar rose to sing what had by then become the anthem of India's freedom movement, Maulana Mohamed Ali protested, saying that music was taboo to Islam and therefore singing ‘Vande Mataram’ would hurt his religious sensitiveness. Pandit Paulskar snubbed the maulana, pointing out that the Congress session was an open gathering and not a religion congregation of any one faith. For good measure, he added that since the Maulana had not found the band that led his procession as taboo to Islam, he could not object to the singing of ‘Vande Mataram’. Maulana Mohammed Ali may have been stumped on that occasion, but by the time India became independent from foreign rule, the Congress had conceded ground to those who today exercise their veto against the singing of India’s National Song, ‘Vande Mataram’. By 1937, Vande Mataram had become a 'Muslim grievance' and Ali Sardar Jafri convinced fellow-traveller Jawaharlal Nehru that the song which had inspired the freedom movement and sent martyrs like Khudiram Bose to the gallows without any trace of regret, was actually 'idolatorous in spirit'. In fact, Nehru went a step further and described the mantra of Indian nationalism and patriotism as 'out of keeping with modern notions of nationalism and progress.' The Muslim League was quick to take its cue from Nehru and a month later, on October 17, 1937, passed a resolution at its Lucknow session, condemning the Congress for foisting ‘Vande Mataram’ as the national anthem upon the country in ‘callous disregard of the feelings of Muslims.' When the Congress Working Committee met in Calcutta later that year with Nehru as Congress president, it officially recognised 'the validity of the objections raised by the Muslims to certain parts of the Vande Mataram song' and 'recommended that at national gatherings the first two stanzas only of the song should be sung.' The cultural and civilisational content of ‘Vande Mataram’ was sacrificed by the Congress on the altar of Muslim League politics. But appeasement does not have any limits -- the Muslim League was not reassured either by Nehru's action or his promise that ‘Vande Mataram’ in 'future (will) become less important.' The Pirpur Committee, which was set up by the Muslim League to compile a list of 'atrocities against Muslims', submitted its report on November 15, 1938. Among the 'atrocities against Muslims' was listed ‘Vande Mataram’. Given this history, there is no reason to be surprised by Sonia Gandhi exercising the veto against the singing of Bharat’s National Song — the full version of ‘Vande Mataram’ — on behalf of the descendants and adherents of the Pirpuris. #VandeMataram

This graduate from the Deep State School of Regime Change topped his class. Like all gas balloon revolutionaries threatening to bring down the state, Yogendra Yadav is pathetic and beneath contempt. But yes, that he is vile, dangerous and sinister cannot be denied.

The famous presser by Mamata Banerjee Mamata Banerjee’s favourite fawning flatterer Mahua Moitra which ensured that the large Gujarati community of Bhabanipur voted for TMC with their feet. More power to Mahua Moitra for saving Bengal and Bengalis from TMC’s Hitlerian tyranny.✊🏽

CM Mamata Banerjee claps while her toadie Madan Mitra sings “…there’s Kaba in my heart and Medina in my eyes” inside a Durga Puja pandal in Kolkata, West Bengal. This is how Sanatan Dharma and Sanatani beliefs are trampled upon in West Bengal. Sadly not a whimper of protest.

Charlatan and big ticket corruption tainted Arvind Kejriwal says these thugs are “little little children”. If this is his idea of “little little children” you can begin to imagine how vile, sick, perverse, twisted, venal and crooked his mind is: he is a threat to decent society.

Blunt takedown by Foreign Secretary: “India does not take cognisance of so-called Track-2 India-Pakistan events as they have no value and do not matter.” On being asked about the so-called Track-2 India-Pakistan dialogue in Colombo, Foreign Secretary Vikram Misri tells media at Victoria, Seychelles: "I have seen the reports. I am aware of them. Dozens of these kinds of events take place in dozens of places around the world on a whole variety of subjects. There's nothing new, nothing special about these events. As far as we are concerned, these are private events organised by private parties. There is nothing official about them. I cannot speak for the government of Pakistan, but as far as the Government of India is concerned, there is no official participation, no official support or involvement, in these visits. Anybody from India who is participating in these events, whether it is retired diplomats, retired military officials, members of civil society, when they participate in such events, they speak for themselves and they represent their own point of view. They do not in any way, they cannot in any way represent the view of the government of India. We really take no cognisance of these events. They really don't hold much value, as far as we are concerned.” Narendra Modi Dr. S. Jaishankar Randhir Jaiswal Ministry of Information and Broadcasting PIB India

This person is brazenly ‘lifting’ flowerpots in broad daylight at Shankar Chowk in Gurugram. He owns a big car, possibly has a fancy house. Sadly no passer-by stopped him or questioned him. If anybody can identify him, please name and shame. Share widely.

This is laughably wrong. The Constitution of India does not mention wealth redistribution in any Article. He is confusing the Constitution of India with Mao’s Little Red Book or he is ignorant. Either way it is evident that he has not read the Constitution. He’s bluffing.

Kapil Sibal was neither shocked nor shamed when Islamists raided Hindu Bengali homes in Murshidabad and burned women's clothes so that Hindu Bengali women and girls would have nothing to wear. Bengal Home Minister Mamata Banerjee did nothing. Kapil Sibal Mamata Banerjee

What an acceptance speech! Mithun Chakraborty raising the skin colour issue in our film industry is something nobody had dared raise till now. That he was able to overcome bias and prejudice is a commendable achievement by itself. This year’s Dadasaheb is totally well deserved.

Forget 10 lifetimes of others. Abhishek Banerjee in your own miserable, wretched and pukeworthy lifetime this has happened and more will happen. One day, hopefully soon, you Abhishek Banerjee entitled nephew of Mamata Banerjee will be paraded in this manner to jeers. You deserve it.
