JANA GANA MANA-NATIONAL ANTHEM-HISTORY AND TRANSLATION



How many of us, have cared to understand the meaning of our National Anthem,that we rhyme on our Independence ,Republic and all our National days and events and stand proud with our head held high





 Our National Anthem ,is one of its kind , which was written not in praise of the country but  in praise of  King George V.The story goes like this......Till 1911,Bengal was the capital of India,In the year 1905  Delhi was declared the capital of India which was a  result, of an agitation started by Indians against Britisher's  proposed plan of division of Bengal .Since the agitation  spread all over India and the situation, became difficult for Britishers to handle ,they invited King George V, to India to supress /calm down Indians.Dr Rabindra Nath Tagore was then, put under pressure to write a welcome song for the King. At that point of time Rabindra Nath Tagore wrote 'Jana  Gana Mana..." now our National Anthem.When George V went back to England he asked for the translation of the song , as he could not follow a word when it was sung in his welcome.And after hearing the translation , he said that he has never been praised like that in his own country,so Rabindra Nath Tagore be called to England , and also ordered to honour him with A Nobel Prize.
Since Gandhi ji did not approve of his writing this song and fear of Gandhi ji's anger forced him to decline the honours, instead he suggested the King , that if he really be honoured then honour him on another book of his poetry named Geetanjali written by him ,to which the King agreed , thus was honoured with a Nobel Prize for the same in 1914. Now it's for us Indians to decide whether we should continue to accept Jana Gana Mana ,as our National Anthem or opt for Vande Matram which is an equally popular patriotic song .......Meaning goes as under.......

  8. A truely beautiful piece of art can be completely corrupted with distorted references.
    It 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.
    I implore the young Indians to be educated and refined and not so ignorant.
