What is national song of India? You may say "Vande Mataram". WRONG.

You will be shocked that as per Zafar Mahmood, ex-OSD to PM, and founder of Zakat Foundation that trains Civil Servants, it is "Sare Jahan Se Achha" by Iqbal. +
Zafar Mahmood is founder of Iqbal Academy India whose aim is to propagate message of Iqbal.
Is it not a tragedy that an experienced civil servant of India who trains hundreds others is not just fan of ideological father of Pakistan but also considers his poem national song?
+
Iqbal wrote Sare Jahan Se Achha in 1904. But in 1910, he wrote revised version of poem Tarana-e-Milli where he openly declared his Islamist agenda. What is interesting is that Zafar Mahmood has given link to this poetry in website of his Iqbal Academy.+
iqbalindia.org/allama_iqbal_p…
What is also interesting is that there is also an Iqbal Academy Pakistan which is a government body in Pakistan. Am I unreasonable to worry that the name is exact same - Iqbal Academy India, heralds his poem as national song of India, and Zakat Foundation is full of fanatics +
What brings more worries is that the organization that claims to send highest number of trained M in UPSC gets foreign funds from organizations whose terror links are being probed as per reports in public domain. Major individual donor is broadcaster of Peace TV of Zakir Naik +
I am surprised that the person who was OSD to PM Manmohan Singh and drafted Sachar Committee report, and trains Civil Servant aspirants believes that national song of India is poem of a bigot who broke India. Is it because of allergy to Vande Mataram?+
I would also want to highlight that Iqbal also wrote a poem glorifying Timur - the greatest killer of his times who ransacked lakhs in Delhi alone - as a new revolution.

Why is that people with deep Pakistan connections find ways to connect with this murderer and rapist?
Will Zafar Mahmood explain why he names Iqbal Academy after Pakistani govt body + why he calls Iqbal's poem national song + why he is funded from dubious sources + why his ppt on Kashmir emphasizes that boundaries of nation will decrease +++
Hum bolega to bologe ki bolta hai...

जी हाँ। जो सनातन धर्म की आर्य पद्धति में विश्वास रखता है वह पहन सकता है। भारत में अनेक कन्या गुरुकुल हैं जहां बालिकाएँ इसे पहनती हैं। वाराणसी के पाणिनी कन्या गुरकुल ही चले जाइए। सावरकर ने कितने ही जनेऊ यज्ञ किए थे दलितों में।

किंतु @thewire_in से हो आप। आप को क्या लेना देना?
यह देखिए वीर सावरकर का सर्व जाति जनेऊ यज्ञ। हमारा @agniveer भी सावरकर की प्रेरणा से सर्वत्र जनेऊ संस्कार करवाता है। स्त्री पुरुष सब पहनते हैं। जन्मना जाति नहीं मानते। किंतु कर्म व मानसिकता अवश्य देखते हैं। @thewire_in को धूर्त एवं शठ मानते हैं।
यह देखिए @agniveer का यज्ञ जहाँ सब जनेऊ पहनते हैं। ऐसे सैकड़ों उदाहरण साझा कर सकता हूँ।
आप @thewire_in को छोड़िए। हिंदू घृणा वालों का कुसंग त्यागिये। आपका भी स्वागत है।

Hindi, English, Bengali, Marathi, Telugu and Tamil have more speakers than Urdu in India. (If we consider those who can "read" Urdu, the number will be much lesser)

Why does NCERT then publish books in Urdu? Why there is an Urdu promotion council under Central Govt since 1996?
Some morons justify neglect of Sanskrit by citing number of speakers. This is foolish.
1. Sanskrit is actually the most popular language of India because all Hindus use Sanskrit for religious/ cultural purposes
2. Almost all languages are derivatives of Sanskrit. +
3. Sanskrit is a framework. Technically, a form of Sanskrit can be spoken that is mutually intelligible with other Indian languages. Hence, Sanskrit is the root or the mother, other languages are children. And Urdu is a divisive imposition

There is no evidence of beef in any of the 4 Veda Samhitas. On contrary, there are ample mantras that declare cow as fountainhead of all prosperities. In fact, as per Vedas, nothing must be done to trouble animals.

ये नव वर्ष हमें स्वीकार नहीं
- रामधारी सिंह दिनकर

ये नव वर्ष हमें स्वीकार नहीं
है अपना ये त्यौहार नहीं
है अपनी ये तो रीत नहीं
है अपना ये व्यवहार नहीं

धरा ठिठुरती है सर्दी से
आकाश में कोहरा गहरा है
बाग़ बाज़ारों की सरहद पर
सर्द हवा का पहरा है

1/n
सूना है प्रकृति का आँगन
कुछ रंग नहीं , उमंग नहीं
हर कोई है घर में दुबका हुआ
नव वर्ष का ये कोई ढंग नहीं

चंद मास अभी इंतज़ार करो
निज मन में तनिक विचार करो
नये साल नया कुछ हो तो सही
क्यों नक़ल में सारी अक्ल बही

2/n
उल्लास मंद है जन -मन का
आयी है अभी बहार नहीं
ये नव वर्ष हमे स्वीकार नहीं
है अपना ये त्यौहार नहीं

ये धुंध कुहासा छंटने दो
रातों का राज्य सिमटने दो
प्रकृति का रूप निखरने दो
फागुन का रंग बिखरने दो

Thread:
Swami Shraddhanand was star of Satyagraha movement and faced near-death situations to make it success.
However he dissociated from Satyagraha for following reasons:
1. Gandhi accused Satyagrahis for being responsible for being shot by police (like Godhra victims)
2. Lala Shankar Lal was falsely accused of inciting mob to beat a Muslim police officer Faquir Mohammad. Gandhi wired an order asking Shankar Lal to offer no defense. This prejudiced the court against Satyagrahis.
3. Gandhi would sent posters in bulk asking Satyagrahis to get arrested if police wants so. Other experimental posters were also sent (from safe zone).
Swami Shraddhanand had to burn these posters

When Swami Shraddhanand was murdered by Abdul Rashid, Mohandas Gandhi said: "..I have called Abdul Rashid a brother and I repeat it. I do not even regard him as guilty of Swamiji’s murder. Guilty indeed are all those who excited feelings of hatred against one another."
Gandhi had been blaming Swamiji for launching the largest Shuddhi (Ghar Wapsi) movement in history and hence upsetting Islamists.

There is no way I can even pretend to admire a person who makes murderer of my Gurudev his brother. I share same views on Gandhi as BR Ambedkar
Congress party made sure that name of Swami Shraddhanand, the most influential and respected leader of his time to whom even Gandhi owes his brand image, is completely wiped off from education and historical references.
