"To thee I call Mother and Lord!"
"Every image made divine
In our temples is but thine."
"Thou art
Durga, Lady and Queen,
With her hands that strike and her swords of sheen,
Thou art
Lakshmi lotus-throned,
And the Muse a hundred-toned,
Pure and perfect without peer,"
I admit I got these from Wiki so don't know if it's correct or not part of the modern one. But to me these verses are quite explicit in their meaning. At the end of the day, it is up to Indians to decide on this, I was just curious as to why the singing of the above is a big issue since it is not even the national anthem?
