We had been slaves for about 600 years.
We are still carrying out the same customary, at least symbolically.
When we sing our national anthem (song)
“JANA GANA MANA ADHINAYAK JAYA HE, BHARAT BHAGYA VIDHATA.”
Since when we started addressing our Mother India masculine
“BHARAT BHAGYA VIDHATA” the creator of faith of Bharat.
To analyze the subject, we require we go back a little in history.
This song was written by the poet Rabindra Nath Tqgor “Guru-Dev”; in honor of George (fifth), when he was visiting India in year 1912. Please note he is a so called freedom fighter.
But give him a chance; he was looking for NOBLE PRISE for his creation “GEETANJALI” also.
An interesting instance made this our national anthem.
When Vijay laxmi Pandit was Secretary General of U. N. O. was asked about the national anthem of India, she quoted the subject song.
SO IT BECAME THE NATIONAL ANTHEM of India.
Let us know about her also. She was sister of Lord Jawahar Lal Nehru [Lord not like Lord Mountbaten but like Lord (Bhagwan) Krishna] of free India the position bestowed upon him, by our father of nation Gandhee Jee.
When Lord Jawahar Lal Nehru was asked & told about the relevant song Bande Mataram of Bankim Chand Chattopadhaya From his Novel Anand Math. The reply was “the music of this song could not be composed”.
We have definitely heard the song Bande Mataram
sung by Lata Mangeshkar,
music by Hemant kumar
from the film Ananad Math
based on the novel Ananad Math
When we talk of music; even if we do not know the lyrics; feel a shiver down the spine.
If the above music sounds complicated; there are several other compositions also.
