Sometimes one forsakes courage to save the blushes of good friends.It might be more about not having a very clear mind or thoughts about the issue. It could also be a matter of not wanting to show ones biases. I have once earlier written that we are racist and biased and ......... Some of our communities are more biased and rigid and tend to look inward raather than outwards for their emancipation. Maybe Muslins are more so.
Very few of us have the guts to call a spade a spade. I happen to know at least one man very close to Soeb who inside his iwn family laid down a major rule against family/religious dogmas - he has now overcome his own pain and ensured that no one in his family suffers again. That man is Soeb's own brother. I mention this because we do not need to point Soeb out due to his religion. WE know him sufficiently well to know that his opinion will be unbiased.
Lack of open communication by religious and community leaders is a major reason for the antipathy towards singing the song. even a lot of christians do not sing this song - now what? Hey - A lot of christians do not eat prasad - because they do not eat the offerings to idols. Pretty stupid right? They also believe that I will never go to heaven bcos I do not believe in Jesus Christ. well so be it....
BOSS ALL OF US HAVE THESE BLOCKS AND NOTHING IS GOING TO REMOVE THEM. WE HAVE TO LIVE WITH THEM FOR ALL TIME TO COME. AFTER ALL WE ARE IN THE BIGGEST SECULAR DEMOCRACY IN THE WORLD.
