Hi!
I have a very strange story to share. I was so surprised to read it in the Navabharat Times. I am sure you will be surprised too!!
“It happened 100 years back. Rabindra Nath Tagore wrote a song to honour King George V and Queen of England. This was sung in the Delhi Court when Delhi became the new capital. The song sang – ‘O King, you are the lord of Punjab, Sindh, Gujrat, Maharashtra, Dravid, Utkal, Bengal. We salute you.’
Yes, the song is none other than our National Anthem – Jan Gan Man!!!”
Isn’t it surprising that this song was selected as India’s National Anthem? I always thought that our National Anthem was in praise of our motherland, India.
Do you think this anecdote is true?
Vani
Very good observation Vani! I’m also surprised to say the least… Will try n research to see if it is indeed true..
I am shocked not just surprised good one Vani! Would not have know if you had not shared this.
Thank you.
Will keep writing
