Singing Vande Mataram in full is not “optional,” nor is it a matter of a State casually choosing whether to comply. The Ministry of Home Affairs guidelines are explicit: whenever Vande Mataram is rendered at official functions, the full official version is to be sung, and all six stanzas are to be played at designated government events. The guidelines further prescribe the occasions on which it must be rendered and the protocol to be followed, including standing in attention. The argument that Parliament must first pass a law before such protocols become binding on government functions is flawed. Every aspect of governance does not require a separate Act of Parliament. The Union Government routinely issues executive directions, protocols, and administrative instructions governing official ceremonies, state functions, national symbols, and public administration. These flow from the executive authority of the Union under the Constitution. A State government cannot simply declare a Union protocol governing national observances “optional” because it disagrees with it politically. If every State began selectively deciding which national protocols it would or would not follow, the very idea of uniform national observances would collapse. Vande Mataram is not a partisan slogan. It is India’s National Song and a foundational symbol of the freedom movement. Treating its prescribed rendition at official functions as a matter of political convenience says more about the insecurities of those objecting to it than about the directive itself.
