- The song Jana Gana Mana is the National Anthem of India which was composed by the Ravindra Nath Tagore in 1911, originally in Bengali.
- It was adopted by the constituent assembly on January 24, 1950 in its Hindi version. The song Jana Gana Mana was first published under the title “Bharat Vidhata” in Tattva Bodhini Patrika in January, 1912.
- The song was translated in English in 1919 with the title “Morning Song of India”.
- Very first time it was sung at Calcutta session of congress on Dec. 27, 1911. It takes about 52 seconds for its total completion, while it takes 20 seconds for first and last lines of the stanza. There is a controversy on this poem, the poem was written in December 1911, precisely at the time of the Coronation Durbar of George V, and is considered by some to be a paean in praise of “the overlord of India’s destiny”
- In the original Bengali poem only those provinces mentioned which were under British rule, i.e. Punjab, Sindh, Gujarat, Maratha etc. were mentioned. Those princely states (Kashmir, Rajasthan, Andhra, and Mysore of Kerala) which were ruled by the Portuguese not mentioned in the anthem.
- The meaning of “ The Jana Gana Mana Adhinayaka” is that King George V is the lord of the masses and Bharata Bhagya Vidhata is “the conveyer of good fortune of whole country”
- To honour the visit of King George v, 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).
