Most of you sound educated, did you not learn the basic rule of debating?
Play the ball' - do not criticise the individual speakers, criticise what they say. To call someone fat, ugly or a nerd does not make what they say wrong
If you read all my posts in this thread, you will see that I have been saying the same thing again and again, but either you choose to ignore my point, or you are simply so dumb that you don't understand what I'm saying. Hence the statement about the 10kb brain and the quote from Mark Twain. More about this later in the post.
And I didn't call you fat, ugly or a nerd. I called you Stupid. And that does have a direct relationship with what you are saying.

So what are you dis-respecting, when you show disregard to the Song.
If I say that
A is not worthy of the honour
XYZ bestowed upon it, am I disrespecting
A or
XYZ? Calm down and think logically. I'm not propounding rocket science here.
DQ wrote:READ THE FIRST _ POST OF THIS THREAD, CALLING FOR INDIANS TO WAKE UP ???
SUGGESTING THAT THE SONG IS MISPLACED.
WAKE up to what your absurdities!!!
I again repeat that as a citizen of free India, I have every right to speak up if I feel that something is not right.
DQ wrote:WHEN WAS THE ANTHEM INCORPORATED
The Indian National anthem, composed originally in Bengali by Rabindranath Tagore, was adopted in its Hindi version by the Constituent Assembly as the National Anthem of India on 24 January 1950. It was first sung 27 December 1911 at the Calcutta session of the Indian National Congress. The complete song consists of five stanzas. The lyrics were rendered into English by Tagore himself.
HOW IT was used to mock the occupiers ?
Internally all Indians Knew that it was praising the Mother land and GoD. The song sung by INC (during the peak of the independance movement) shows that it was used to show whoever thought it was written for themselves, what it actually meant, and how they were fooled.
Or maybe Tagore fooled the Congress into believing what he wanted them to.
DQ wrote:Recent years I have seen this upsurge, for a call to repeal it. Look on the web and people out there trying to get petitons signed to get this changed. For what ?
I again repeat that a citizen of India has a right to sign those petitions. Just because you don't like them doing what they are, doesn't make whatever they are doing wrong. Let them sign a petition and file a PIL. Let the courts decide if the claim is right or wrong. Who are you to pass a judgement on this?
DQ wrote:The flag is a horizontal tricolour in equal proportion of deep saffron on the top, white in the middle and dark green at the bottom. The ratio of the width to the length of the flag is two is to three. In the centre of the white band, there is a wheel in navy blue to indicate the Dharma Chakra, the wheel of law in the Sarnath Lion Capital. Its diameter approximates the width of the white band and it has 24 spokes. The saffron stands for courage, sacrifice and the spirit of renunciation; the white, for purity and truth; the green for faith and fertility.
PS. HP YOU INFACT HAVE CLEARED ALL MY DOUBTS. IF YOU DO NOT KNOW THE FACTS RESEARCH FIRST BEFORE COMMING BACK.....

DQ wrote:IF AND IF ONLY YOU WOULD HAVE READ WHATS BEING DEBATED !!!
Kindly enlighten me. All this while I was under the impression that this debate is about the national anthem. Didn't know that the flag and mosque were also involved. Does the scope of the debate cover anything else that I don't know?
DQ wrote:LOLZ Translation of the british national anthem, is this a new theory you are floating.
LOLZ its not a new theory.
DQ wrote:Even before knowing what the song is you have gone ahead and suggested that it does not deserve its place. HUH.
If knowing what the song is means agreeing with your viewpoint, I'm dumb.
DQ wrote:yes I hate that controversial topic that has spoiled the fabric of independant India. And would not want to discuss any furthur. But get your facts right there too, 6 glaring mistakes in that small paragraph that you have typed. If you do not know what they are research.
I leave the research to scholars like you. Once you are done with it or once the effect of this lashing is over (whichever is earlier), come back and you'll get more.
