The President has assented to the #VandeMataram Amendment, passed without discussion in Parliament, which requires the singing of the National Song in full at the start and ending of any official function, in addition to the National Anthem.
As one who greatly respects both, and can sing the first two stanzas of the former (but not the other four, which were never required till now) as well as the entire anthem, i would like to point to just one practical consideration our zealots appear to have overlooked: human nature.
"Jana Gana Mana" requires audiences to stand respectfully and focus their attention for a reasonable 52 seconds. The National Song in full takes 3 minutes and 10 seconds. Tamil Nadu has just decided that both will be preceded by the State Song in Tamil for another 2 minutes. Do we really expect audiences to stand still and respectfully for six minutes before and after every function, a total of 12 extra minutes? Can respect and patience be legislated?
I fear that the intent of the Bill, to promote greater respect for the National Song , will not be achieved, but its opposite may well be....
Why this outrage about Amit Shah not attending parliament?
You want Education Minister to have education, right?
You want Finance Minister to get Finance, no?
You want Agriculture Minister to visit farms, correct?
SO WHAT'S THE PROBLEM IF THE HOME MINISTER IS SITTING AT HOME???
Alright,
But,also we should remember to those students who were beaten and fired by pullet gun by Delhi police at Jantar Mantar on 20 July 2026.
What do you think sir?🤔
I love to see those sports celebs & actors who were silent right through the protests now coming and giving gyaan on bad language. Even I disagree with gendered abuse, but bit rich of these ‘celeb influencers’ who have suddenly found their voice.
I might not have the time to attend parliament, I might not have the time to visit the flood ravaged Assam. I might tell the country to cut down on expenditure. But I have all the time in the world for self promotion on tax payers money
Girls and women don’t owe you civility, old man. Clutching pearls and pretending you’re a victim while kids have DIED BY SUICIDE because of your fuck ups and then YOUR POLICE USED PELLET GUNS AND AK47s AND LATHIS ON PROTESTERS.
Fuck. Right. Off.

ऐसी गालियां बोलने पर जिसके ऊपर कार्रवाई नहीं हुई वह आज़ इसलिए केस कर रहे हैं क्योंकि उन्हें किसी ने गाली दिया !
20 से ज्यादा बच्चों ने आत्मह*त्या कर ली और यह सोचते हैं कि सब शहद टपकाए।
The Prime Minister made a reel saying he “forgives” the students for their actions and mistakes.
Forgives them for what? For asking for their rights? For demanding fairness?
A true leader would apologize to the students for allowing the police to beat them-not expect an apology from them.
That is leadership. That is democracy.
MPs using Gen Z language is very cringeworthy and doesn’t make any of them look cool. Gen Z doesn’t want you to speak like them. They want you to behave your age, speak like yourself and most importantly listen to them.
Rahul Gandhi –– There is category of people, idiot and andhbhakt
Kiren Rijiju –– Don't use unparliamentary words
Rahul Gandhi –– "It is unparliamentary only to use that word against fellow MPs" 🤣
BJP MPs started shouting again 😭
Rahul Gandhi said : "Do you want only BJP to speak and exist?" 🗿
And he sat down
