National Anthem

[arpit goel]

Hi all,

I have a important question to ask to all of you about our National Anthem i.e Jana Gana Mann...................As most of us know about the cause of origin of this song which was written by Rabindra Nath Tagore to welcome the king of England Lord Pancham. When i came to know about this, it became difficult for me to respect it. I still feel to be slave of the British rule whenever i listen this song. So, i want to know that by what extent i am correct and if i am correct then what should we follow as our National Anthem. Is it Vande Mataram or something else.

good point ! Now I don't feel like having any respect for this so called national Anthem, which was sung to praise British empire.

dear Arpit

jana gana mana was selected for its great music but the fact that you have mentioned was perhaps overlooked, though there is some controversy whether it was actually written for the monarch.

actually in international events, only the music is played and the music is simple, it has only the pure notes, even a child can play it.

its quite a good choice really, you don't need to regret while singing it.

Even Subhas Bose took this music for his Azad Hind Government's national anthem.

Only he had the words changed.

Here is the INA version of the song. This could have been a better anthem I believe, with the great music of the original song and the great lyrics :

--First stanza--

Subh sukh chain ki barkha barse,

Bharat bhaag hai jaaga.

Punjab, Sindh, Gujarat, Maratha,

Dravid, Utkal, Banga,

Chanchal sagar, Vindh, Himaalay,

Neela Jamuna, Ganga.

Tere nit gun gaayen,

Tujh se jivan paayen,

Har tan paaye asha.

Suraj ban kar jag par chamke,

Bharat naam subhaga,

Jai ho, jai ho, jai ho,

Jai, jai, jai, jai ho.

--Second stanza--

Sab ke dil mein preet basaaey,

Teri meethi baani.

Har sube ke rahne waale,

Har mazhab ke praani,

Sab bhed aur farak mita ke,

Sab god mein teri aake,

Goondhe prem ki mala.

Suraj ban kar jag par chamke,

Bharat naam subhaga,

Jai ho, jai ho, jai ho,

Jai, jai, jai, jai ho.

--Third stanza--

Subh savere pankh pakheru,

Tere hi gun gayen,

Baas bhari bharpur hawaaen,

Jeevan men rut laayen,

Sab mil kar Hind pukare,

Jai Azad Hind ke nare.

Pyaara desh hamara.

Suraj ban kar jag par chamke,

Bharat naam subhaga,

Jai ho, jai ho, jai ho,

Jai, jai, jai, jai ho.

Regarding Vande Maataram I feel it can't be the anthem of a culturally diverse country like India.
It is actually a prayer of Bharat maata pictured as Durga, Laxmi, Saraswati all in one.
The song contains the names of Hindu deities which I feel won't match international standards too.
Then the tune of Vande mataram is not a unique one.
Different people render it in different ways.

But at the same time I have great respect and adoration for Bankim Chatterjee's great composition.
Vande mataram  had a great role in the Indian freedom struggle.
It is rightly regarded as a national song!
