Jan gaan maan is world best national anthem declared by UNESCO

[Bumblebee]

u managed to convince chunnu & munnu to take the test with u, bribing them with thumbs up, hence the 3rd rank ? BTW what sort of IQ test was that, giving u a rank instead of a score ?

Unfortunately, our national anthem consists of only the first stanza of Tagore's poem. This stanza (when read in isolation) seems to praise an unknown entity which holds the destiny of India in its hands, which can be (mis)interpreted as praising some Emperor of India. It is only in the later stanzas that the nature of this entity is revealed when allusions are made to the eternal charioteer (Lord Krishna), the motherland and the Almighty.

I can't understand whats unfortunate about it. I think what has been taken is enough, serves the purpose beautifully. If the rest was taken, it would have become a religious prayer which I dont think would have been wise.

Instead it praises "Bharat bhagya vidhata" i.e. the decider of India's destiny. It is only in later stanzas that this entity is given a description. Taken in isolation this stanza paints a picture of subservience rather than independence. This is in complete contrast to "Vande Mataram" or "Saare Jahan se acchha" which are explicit in their praise for India. Or even Bangladesh's anthem "Amar sonar Bangla" written by Tagore.

Now we are comparing other possible alternatives of Jana Gana Mana, which is a different topic altogether. I was pointing out that leaving behind the religious side of jana Gana Mana itself was a good decision and certainly not unfortunate.
