Vande Mataram And Jana Gana Mana

With the recent controversy on Vande Mataram, some people started wondering why did we choose Jana Gana Mana as our national anthem. One such instance is here at silkboard. Another one here at Amardeep’s Blog tries to analyze whether Tagore wrote this for King George or not.

Interesting comments on both the blogs. Some even go to the extent of saying that Vande Mataram should have been the national anthem instead of Jana Gana Mana.

    To eah his own.I like “Saare jahan se achcha…” more than the other two. At least one understands it fully as well.

    I like “Saare jahan se achcha…” too. These are all nice songs. Makes you wonder do we need controversies around it?
