Hello Rakesh ! I strongly object to what you explained below in your lines -
"I believe that we cannot have true freedom unless our citizens and even the foreigners in India have the right to burn our flag and the constitution. It is best to have such feelings come out than the anger boiling within." Freedom does not entitles you to burn the national flag or the constitution. Freedom means you have right to speak against wrong deeds, to have right to say what you feel but it does not means that you start speaking against the national flag or its constitution. I do agree that we really waste our time on useless debates. I don't find any insult in that song which has raised eye-brow of many so called Desh Bhagats. Jana Gana Mana Rann hai Iss rann mein zakhmi hua hai Bharat ka bhagya vidhata Vindhy, Himachal, Yamuna, Ganga mein tezaab ubal rahaa hai Mar gayaa hai sabka zameer jaane kab zinda ho aage Phir bhi tav shubh naame jaage Tav shubh aashish maange I don't find any vulgarity, desrespect for national anthem in above lines. Iss rann mein zakhmi hua hai Bharat ka bhagya vidhata (As far as I can understand the meaning of this line - Bhagya Vidhata - means the AAM JANTA - Jo Jakhmi hoti aayi hai. Kia galat hai isme ? 100% sach hai. Vindhy, Himachal, Yamuna, Ganga mein tezaab ubal rahaa hai. (Kia galat hai is line me ? Aaj kis nadi me pavitrta bachi hai ? Ganga ke udgam se iske samandar me milne tak, har jagah par isme pata nahi kaisi kaisi gangdi daali jaa rahi hai. Ganga jaisi pavitar nadi me ye tezab ublane jaisa hi hai. Mar gayaa hai sabka zameer (Zameer to sabka hi mar chuka hai, warna aaj hamare desh me Corruption, Loot, Murder, Rape, Mehngaai, Dahej, wageraah jaisi ghinoni bimariya nahi hoti. (Kia galat hai isme?) jaane kab zinda ho aage (Kab zinda hoga ?) Phir bhi tav shubh naame jaage Tav shubh aashish maange Fir bhi shubh asshish maang raha hai. Kiyu arguments kar rahe hai ham log ? Don't we have any other thing to do? There are many other issues which needs our urgent attention. We should come forward to discuss and find the ways to fight with all other issues if we want to be patriot in real means.
