Conclusion
Jana Gana Mana is India's national anthem written in Sanskrit by poet Rabindranath Tagore (Nobel Prize Winner)
"... surrounds the 1911 visit to India by King George V. To commemorate the occasion, the Indian National Congress (INC) approached Tagore for a poem of welcome. As Yeats (his Irish admirer of many years) recalled later, Tagore was deeply troubled by the assignment. Early one morning, he composed a very beautiful poem and handed it over to his colleagues. At the Calcutta Congress session which began on December 16, 1911, the second day was apparently devoted entirely to welcoming King George V. Jana Gana Mana was sung on this occasion"
Many people say that Tagore is very good person, and he has written this song for God, if so then why did he chose this particular song for a British? He was poet, he could have easily written any other poem which encouraged the Indians and dispirited, restrained the British.
Since Tagore treated George as God, with his poem, which happened in Dec, 1911 British gave him a nobel prize in 1913.
Till today many people in India, doesnt know about this fact. Which is very big shame.
The same song was again sung for Queen Elizabeth, upon her visit during 1990s. Which is more disgrace to us.
Wake up.

ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing the link and visiting my blog. I really appreciate it.
ReplyDeletePlease share a link of Tagore, releasing a "Press Note" saying that he never wrote the poem for George.
Sahara India Pariwar has taken great initiative to bring the people of country together through the medium of national anthem. We all should come up one by one joining the hands of each other to make a such a strong knot on which every Indian word get printed strongly. Let us make this day auspicious in the world by making one of unbreakable records. Jai Hind!

We Indians are habituated of welcoming and doing chaaplusi of British and other symbols of our slavery. Our parliament and cricket craze are perfect example of it. Vandemataram is our National Anthem. Please learn Sanskrit and read Janaganamana again.

ReplyDeleteA truely beautiful piece of art can be completely corrupted with distorted references.
ReplyDeleteIt is only natural that Rabindranath Tagore's family being the founder of the "Brahmo Samaj",he would invoke Lord Krishna or the Supremely Devine being in innumerable songs and poetry written by him..
The Eternal Charioteer sounding the conchshell ,refers to Lord Krishna sounding his conch shell marking the commencement of the battle of Mahabharata.
"Khelichho kon Bishyaloye ,Ogadho Shishu, ano mone."-again one song singing the praises in simple amazement of the infinite child playing by himself in his nursery of the universe..this conjures in mind the image of baal Gopal...the universe is his playground.
The mother referred to towards the end is Motherland "Bharat Mata".
Again Ravindranath in innumerable songs, have sung of the beloved, fertile "mother land" whose complexion is "golden" as her plenty harvest (wheat, rice) ripens under benevolent gaze of the Devine.
The stanzas also vividly describe the condition and the circumstances of the Indian people at the time of the Bristish Rule.
Literatures of Great authors have layers and layers of meaning.
The levels of great art always go deeper and higher.
Jana Gana Mana is fully coloured in love for Mother India. Please read at the link below to know the correct facts about our national anthem, And after this you can proudly sing it. Also, please help stopping this anti-anthem campaign. Make people aware of the true facts.
