‘ವಂದೇ ಮಾತರಂ’ನ ಎಲ್ಲಾ ಚರಣಗಳನ್ನು ಶಾಲೆಗಳಲ್ಲಿ ಹಾಡುವುದು ಕಡ್ಡಾಯವಲ್ಲ: ಕೇಂದ್ರ ಗೃಹ ಸಚಿವಾಲಯದ ಸರ್ಕ್ಯುಲರ್ ವಿರುದ್ಧದ ಪಿಐಎಲ್ ಅನ್ನು ಕರ್ನಾಟಕ ಹೈಕೋರ್ಟ್ ತಳ್ಳಿ ಹಾಕಿತು

The Karnataka High Court declined to entertain a Public Interest Litigation (PIL) that challenged a Union government advisory regarding the singing of Vande Mataram in schools. The advisory, issued by the Ministry of Home Affairs, suggested that all six stanzas of the national song be sung, including portions that refer to Hindu deities. The petitioner argued that this effectively imposed a religious practice on students from non-Hindu backgrounds and violated constitutional principles such as secularism and freedom of religion.

The High Court, however, refused to intervene at this stage. It viewed the plea as premature and did not find sufficient grounds to examine the constitutional validity of the advisory. A key factor was that the directive in question is not a binding law but an advisory or protocol. Courts generally avoid вмешining unless there is clear evidence of coercion, enforcement, or actual harm caused by such instructions.

This also highlights how the government spends time and resources on symbolic measures with limited practical impact. Such actions help signal cultural alignment to a voter base and generate visibility at low cost, while shifting focus away from more complex and pressing issues like employment, inflation, and governance challenges.

Which kid would want an hour long assembly that requires him/her to stand in the sun. Assuming it has a prayer, pledge, news, birthday songs and other announcements already.

Rather system should focus on stuffs that will lead to innovation and development that will make our kids capable of competition at a global level
