Bodhi what exactly was the objection by sickulars?
Was it that it was too shudh for their linking (yaad being the only the Arabic word).

They began with saying that this was an 'RSS song'. When pointed that this was actually from Jaya Shankar Prasad's Chandragupta, they started objections on the pretext of its video. The one on this google video is the revised version. In the orginial, Chandragupta and his Gurukul-brothers were shown riding horses, carrying Bhagwa flags, and with swords. Sickulars said, this was 'saffronization' and Hindutva-propoganda on Doordarshan! Some came out of their caves to say Bhagwa was not even the flag-colour of Mauryas, and what not historical junk.
Ultimately, if I remember it well, a revised version was telecasted in the serial (which is on this google video). However Dr. Chandraprakash Dwivedi still released that original song in the video, which probably can be found in the video-stores today. That was a really marvellous video as well as the rendition.
