Indian National Anthem is the best in the world - UNESCO

News and Reviews India - UNESCO, on this Friday announced some thing which we all knew always. Indian National Anthem is the best amongst 200 odd countries in the world. No Surprise as the Indian Anthem reflects true diversity, maturity and destiny of India and Indians! The creator of Jana-Gana-Mana, Sri Rabindra Nath Tagore (Nobel Laureate) must be smiling in Heavens today for this recognition of Indian Anthem on the world stage. 3 Cheers to him and for Mother India. Click to read more…

Our beloved National Anthem ”Jana Gana Mana” written and composed by Sri Rabindra Nath Tagore has been chosen as the World’s Best National Anthem by UNESCO (United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization). It is a proud moment for all Indians across the world.

Jana Gana Mana written in Sanskritised Bengali, it is the first of five stanzas of a Brahmo hymn composed and scored by Nobel laureate Rabindranath Tagore.

It was first sung at the Calcutta Session of the Indian National Congress,on 27 December 1911. Jana Gana Mana was officially adopted by the Constituent Assembly as the Indian national anthem on January 24, 1950. The music for the “current version” is said to be derived from a composition for the song by Ram Singh Thakur, although some dispute this.

A formal rendition of the national anthem takes about forty-eight to fifty-two seconds.

   It is a pity that the email announcing our national anthem as the best in the world declared by UNESCO appears to be just another email hoax.
   while checking the integrity of the news by visiting the unesco site I found nothing of this sort.
   There are different kind of chain mails that are used for different purposes by their originators by
   
   * Luring the recipients towards good fortune
   * Spreading the fear of doomed fate for the recipient for not forwarding them
   * Lure of “free gadgets / gizmos” by forwarding them to multiple people
   * Touching messages of love / fraternity / friendships etc
   * Spicy scandals - political / religious in nature
   
   So on and so forth ( kudos to the brilliant creativity of intelligent netizens to create a mass hysteria on the net)
   It is wise to break the chain of the email as they are in most cases used to
   
   * Collect thousands of email ids for mass marketing
   * Spread viruses, worms or spywares which might sit in your computer and transmit your user ids / passwords to the originators, enabling them to sniff on your credit card details, your bank user ids and passwords etc.
   * To spread rumours with different motives
   * Or just simply with the intension to waste the band width of the network (which slows down a country’s / region’s network)

   Such items should be substantiated by evidence, such as a link to a reliable news source (say, BBC website, or UNESCO website itself). Until then, its just the job of some rumour monger. Everyone’s proud of their National Heritage, but claiming that an organization such as UNESCO is organizing such contests is absurd. Besides, people of each and every Nation on this planet are very proud of their National Anthems, regardless of their language or culture. Each National Anthem gives a powerful message, a message that binds a nation together when its sung. So people should respect each others National Anthems and stop making such absurd claims as which one’s better than the other. Let us all be proud of who we are and let others be proud of who they are (and respect them for that) at the same time!

   This is another view
   
   
   
   Our National Anthem...
   This is interesting. .....and shocking.... . ........
   
   'Jana Gana Mana' - Just a thought for the National Anthem! How well do you know about it?
   
   I have always wondered who is the ' adhinayak'and' bharat bhagya vidhata',whose praise we are singing.. I thought might be Motherland India! Our current National Anthem 'Jana Gana Mana'is sung throughout the country.
   
   Did you know the following about our national anthem, I didn't.
   
   To begin with, India 's national anthem, Jana Gana Mana Adhinayaka, was written by Rabindranath Tagore in honor of King George V and the Queen of England when they visited India in 1919. To honor their visit Pandit Motilal Nehru had the five stanzas included , which are in praise of the King and Queen.(And most of us think it is in the praise of our great motherland!! !)
   
   In the original Bengali verses only those provinces that were under British rule,i.e . Punjab, Sindh,Gujarat ,Maratha etc. were mentioned. None of the princely states were recognized which are integral parts of India now Kashmir, Rajasthan, Andhra, Mysore or Kerala.
   
   Neither the Indian Ocean nor the Arabian Sea was included, since they were directly under Portuguese rule at that time. The Jana Gana Mana Adhinayaka implies that King George V is the lord of the masses and Bharata Bhagya Vidhata is 'the bestower of good fortune'.
   
   Following is a translation of the five stanzas that glorify the King.
   
   *First stanza:* (Indian) People wake up remembering your good name and ask for your blessings and they sing your glories. (Tava shubha name jaage; tava shubha aashish maage, gaaye tava jaya gaatha)
   
   *Second stanza*: Around your throne people of all religions come and give their love and anxiously wait to hear your kind words..
   
   *Third stanza:* Praise to the King for being the charioteer, for leading the ancient travelers beyond misery.
   
   *Fourth stanza: *Drowned in the deep ignorance and suffering, poverty-stricken, unconscious country? Waiting for the wink of your eye and your mother's (the Queen's) true protection..
   
   *Fifth stanza*: In your compassionate plans, the sleeping Bharat (India) will wake up. We bow down to your feet O' Queen, and glory to Rajeshwara (the King).
   
   This whole poem does not indicate any love for the Motherland but depicts a bleak picture. When you sing Jana Gana Mana Adhinayaka, whom are you glorifying? Certainly not the Motherland. Is it God? The poem does not indicate that. It is time now to understand the original purpose and the implication of this, rather than blindly sing as has been done the past fifty years.
   
   So they can as well play Vande Mataram, which is a far better composition in praise of our Dear Motherland India.

   Rahul Pande,
   Jana Gana Mana was first sung in 1911.
   So forget about your 1919 theory. first know facts, and stop spreading anti-indian malicious rumours.

    I should not fail to say that in general Indian's do not have such respect for the National Anthem as it is expected from citizen of India. Now the people do not feel to stand up when they hear National Anthem either in radio or in television. This is a realy shocking and a setback to patriotic feelings. There is an urgent need to revive respect for National Anthem. Hopefully it's nomination for oscar would tend to fulfill this objective.
