About Motherjane:
"Motherjane is rock music from progressive India. Spiritual, intelligent, proudly honoring its roots & fearlessly questioning its rules. We have chosen our dreams over our fears, putting 100% of ourselves into 1% chances of success and 0% of ourselves into 99% chances of failure...to become what we are ''
motherjane is an icon in the Indian rock movement today, with both 'Maktub' and "Insane Biography" winning best album awards from Rolling Stone Magazine, Rock Street Journal & the Unwind Centre among others.
Their latest album, Maktub, features an unique sound that unapologetically mixes Indian musical styles, progressive rock structures & lyrical content that speaks of an inner reflection, contemplation and hope.
Lyric:
I believe in Jihad
"I" die, to Him return
& I know in my heart His will is the sermon
Thus my faith speaks to me
No innocent shall be slain
Louder than most things
This world shouts out in His name
For all hate is poison
Distilled from pain
& what's alien to heaven Is practiced in vain
I believe in Jihad If love is the weapon.
@MrDesiPak - It's not making fun of anyone's beliefs - it's protesting killing and violence.

This song proved that sometimes even songs on controversial topics to get Pathetic attention cannot get hits as well. Indians forgot sometimes that Their fellow country men includes Muslims too and infact they are 20 percent of the population and these songs can just Incite Hatred among those by making fun of their belief and i dont approve such type of songs.
