Karnataka Limits Vande Mataram Singing to Two Stanzas at State Events
The Karnataka government has ordered that only the first two stanzas of the national song 'Vande Mataram' be sung at state functions, except during events involving the President, Vice-President, Prime Minister, or Governor, where all six stanzas will be performed. This decision aligns with the Congress party's 1937 resolution and contrasts with the Union Home Ministry's directive mandating the full six-stanza rendition at official events. The state cited the need for uniformity, dignity, and appropriate protocol in its order amid ongoing political debate between Congress and BJP over the song's rendition.
