Zealots Overlooked Human Nature: Tharoor Questions Full Vande Mataram Rendition Congress MP Shashi Tharoor's recent criticism of the Vande Mataram amendment has shed light on a little discussed aspect of India's governance structure – the intersection of national pride and administrative practicality.
On Tuesday, Tharoor expressed his reservations about the amended provision, which requires the full National Song to be sung at official functions.
The amendment was passed in Parliament without discussion and has been assented to by the President.
