This time the national anthem is in the headlines in the world of politics. BJP leader Subramanian Swamy has written a letter to PM Narendra Modi. He has also shared the letter he sent on Twitter. In that letter he written that the national anthem Jana Gana Mana was accepted in the Constituent Assembly as a vote of the house.
Apart from this, he has also appealed to PM Modi to bring such a proposal in Parliament that some change in its wording should be done by the bagger who has tampered with the tune of Jana Gana Mana. Not only this, he also said that only the changes made by Subhash Chandra Bose can be accepted. But let us know how the history and significance of the national anthem which Subramanian Swamy has spoken about:
•The national anthem is a song that glorifies history and tradition of any country and gives identity to that country. The national anthem was originally written by Rabindranath Tagore in Bengali.
•It was sung at the Calcutta meeting of the Indian National Congress on 27 December 1911 for the first time, when people outside Bengal did not know it. The Constituent Assembly adopted Jana Gana Mana as the national anthem of India in the year 1950, on the 24th of January. It was originally written in Bengali in 1905.
•Jana Gana Mana was passed as the nation’s anthem because of the essence of the song. Some parts of the anthem mean that the people of India, with their hearts, consider you as the fate of India. O Adhinayak (Superhero), you are the fate of India. Along with this, different states of the country were also mentioned in it and their merits were told.
•At the same time, Vande Mataram was also said to be making a national anthem, but it was made a national anthem because its first four lines are dedicated to the country, the latter are in Bengali language and mother Durga has been praised. It is not considered appropriate to make any such song a national anthem, which refers to a deity rather than the country. Therefore, Vande Mataram was made a national anthem by not making a national anthem.
•The national anthem takes 52 seconds to complete the song while the duration of its version is about 20 seconds.
•There are 5 posts in the national anthem. Rabindranath Tagore not only wrote the national anthem, but he also sang it. It was sung in Madanpillai, a small district in Andhra Pradesh.
