Luckily, in New India’s achchhe din, a patriot’s life is easy. Other places allow people to get away with singing “Vande Mataram” just once every month in government offices — is not this laxity shocking? It is a different matter that some of the self-proclaimed patriots and guardians of the patriotism of others come up short when asked to sing “Vande Mataram”. Yet, surely, nobody can say that the BJP leaders in Madhya Pradesh who could not sing the song are not nationalists? More so as they had handy the slogan, “Is desh mein rehna hoga toh Bharat mata kehna hoga”.
