Vande Matram : Maha Rana Pratap vis-à-vis  Man  Singh
: Dr. M.K. Sherwani

       It is most unfortunate that at the time when
India is struggling hard to emerge as a global force,
a negligible segment of  its society –better called
the progeny of Nathoo Ram Godse – who tore the
country’s secular  fabric on December, 6,1992, are
once again making  an abominable demonstration of
their anti-national activities by  spreading communal
hatred  in the name of ‘VANDE MATRAM’. Knowing fully
that they have been rejected by  the vast multitude of
Indian masses ,including   the hard core hindutwa
brigade as a potential  threat to the nation’s secular
credentials, the BJP and its allied outfits  are
making a desperate attempt to retrieve its  lost
image.  Needless to say that this time they owe much
to Mr. Arjun Singh who has provided  to them a new
pasture land to graze.  
         The compulsory recital of  ‘ Vande Matram’,
there is not the slightest doubt, stands in total
contradistinction with Muslims’ monotheistic religious
beliefs, the protection of which has been
unequivocally guaranteed by the Constitution of India
under Article, 25. As such, those who are launching  a
provocative diatribe against Muslims  are the worst
enemies of  Indian Constitution, its judicial system,
secular values and the centuries old composite 
cultural legacy . It reflects the mental bankruptcy of
these fascist forces when they project  a few  Muslims
as the supporters of ‘Vande Matram’, and on that basis
seek to challenge the ‘Muslimhood’ or the ‘patriotism’
of those who are opposing it as un-Islamic.
        If belonging to the same community may be the
standard for judging  the uniformity in actions, I
fail to understand why ‘MAHA RANA PRATAP’ is regarded
as a national hero and his close relation ‘RAJA MAN
SINGH’ is  discarded as an indelible blot on the
dignity of ‘Rajputs’. I for myself abhor Man Singh and
salute ‘MAHA RANA PRATAP’ and ‘SHIVAJI’  for their
convictions, bravery and gallantry. They had to suffer
worst sorts  of trials and tribulations but remained
stuck to their principles and did not compromise their
conscience and dignity  in exchange for the power and
luxuries of life.
       As a part of its ugly nefarious game plan, the
BJP is using  the names of  ‘so-called Muslims like
Mukhtar Abbas Naqvi and Shah Nawaz Khan. Once upon a
time, it was  Sikander Bakht who was projected as a
specimen of Indian Muslims. Likewise, Akbar  had also
nurtured  Raja Man Singh as an antidote to  Rajput
glory.
Let me tell these  BJP’s Muslim  buffoons  – Mukhtar
Abbar Naqvi and Shah Nawaz Khan- that they  are just
like ‘CHEAP QUALITY  USE-AND- THROW NAPKINS’ whom
nobody will  be ready even to pick up from the
streets. For Muslims, the Constitution of India is the
sacrosanct document. India belongs to them, and they
consider its each  particle as sacred. India is not
the legacy of  the  grandfathers of those who are
asking  Muslims to leave the country for  defying the
compulsory recital of ‘Vande Matram’ as un-Islamic.
