Kumud, I have a serious issue with nomenclature being used for this categories of trains .
'Vande' as a word is used in several salutations and prayers to our Gods.
And Bharatvarsh that is actually mentioned in our itihasas and Puranans have no resemblance to the imaginary Bharat Mata championed by the BJP-RSS.
Why is a god-damn train series named like this then...
more... ?
Secondly Namo is not the 'Namoh/Namah' that we use in our pranamis to Bhagwan, but fashionable abbreviation of our beloved Netaji's name. Netaji wants to immortalize himself before he passes away. After all he is Ajaivik Purush, not a normal human made out of the Panchtawta like you and me. Kuch log toh unko Surenda, Narayan Avatar aur kya na kya bol dete hain...
