Absolutely. I dont understand when someone says making it 'Political issue.' Vande Mataram is an accepted National
Song of Mother India and i dont follow whats wrong in singing it? It symbolizes our nation,our spirit. Societies need some Icons to identify themselves. National Flag,National Song, National Bird etc. are all such attempts.Please remeber Freedom does not mean absolute Freedom.A society has to be disciplined and united with coherence.
Even if accepting that some may be doing 'Politics' on this, why should we, as country people and citizens ,should not be proud of and sing such a sweet and beautiful song which has great lyrics and reverend meaning? Dont you love your mothers?
Those who refuse to sing under excuses are simply not Indians and can find their way out of this land.
Vande Mataram is the National Song and everybody must sing.Compulsions are also necessary. Otherwise why we have rules and laws and why even in our own communities and our homes we follow certain written or unwritten rules and laws?Because they are necessary. Or any society or home will break.

No singing of Vanda Mataram can not be made compulsory, as such every nation has only one national anthem, which we already have, all the citizens of India have consensus on our National Anthem, viz., Jana Gana Mana...............Jaya hai.
Our National Anthem do not infringe or interfere in the fundamental right and freedom of faith and belief, on the other hand Vande Mataram directly force the peoole to worship, Durga, Laxmi and Sarasvati, which according to Hindu mytholgy are goddesses of power, money and listrecy, whereas Muslims, Christians and Sikhs and other communities, believes that there is only ONE GOD.
Secondly, in the Constituent Assembly which later converted into present Parliament, and our parliament prefered and elected
Janagana Mana as our National Anthem and the first runner up was Taran-e-Hind, Sare Jahan Se Acha Hindustan Hamara.
Thirdly Vande Matharam was not at all considered as the National Anthem or National Song of our country.
Any how the issue of Vande Mataram should not be politicize.

Compulsory expressions of national pride, whether it's Vande Mataram in India or the Pledge of Allegiance in the USA, seem to defeat their own purpose. An anthem can help develop a sense of unity, but not for those forced to participate against their will.

no it isnt. when you say India is a democracy people have the right to choose what they want to sing and what they don't.
there isnt anything wrong with not singing it, its the reason thats bugging people. i think the people who refuse to sing because it "pays homage" to the motherland aren't being reasonable. its not about being un-patriotic, or a traitor or whatever, i just don't see the sense in their 'logic' so as to say.
its like saying one simply has to go the temple. why? praying to God or showing respect to Him can be done through other ways too - karma, or good deeds for instance.
ultimately, its a matter of opinion,and im against it. and anyways all this stuff they're saying about completion of 100 years of the song is rubbish. it was written sometime in the 1870's . its a purely political, publicity gimmick on their part,

I personally feel that, if you are ok with vande mataram then go ahead and sing it, but if you are not then just leave it. No point in making this a big issue. Wheather you sing it or not, just be sure that you love your country and respect it. Love and respect can be shown in many other ways. For me, I don't mind singing vande mataram, jana gana mana or sare jahan, as long as I love my country and contribute towards the unity of India.

sure, even Hillary Clinton's supporters reported Fox information gave Hillary the fairest coverage. for sure, NBC and MSNBC were brazenly rooting for Obama after his victory in Iowa. Fox has a large kind of conservative commentators, yet they don't look information human beings. the Fox information everybody is staggering and straightforward. The commentators are almost continuously conservative and life like with some token libs thrown in. O'Reilly has lengthy gone out of his way at the moment to contain liberal viewpoints. I accept as true with others that MSNBC is the most biased. David Schuster should be fired; that's obtrusive he's a fanatical lib!

No its all a political humbug to gain political mileage n widen the vote bank. Most of those who want it, themselves dont know the whole song let alone anything about its importance n its history.
As far as respect for the national song is concerned, no one can be forced to do so if he or she doesn't want

Those who want to live in India, they have to. Else, leave this country. Indian Politicians are worst. They rake up unnecessary things for their political gains.

No not at all. Depends on individual wether to sing or not.
If anyone thinks the song is against there religion then they may not sing.

Bastard Politicians and Idiot religious persons are making it an issue. When it was written - no religion was kept in mind. When it was sung before independence, I guarantee that most muslims would have sung it. Its shame on our politicians now.
Long live such polititicans/religious persons. No one can save India.
