Early or original score of Jana Gana Mana Controversies In, students belonging to the religious denomination were expelled by school authorities for their refusal to sing the national anthem on religious grounds, although they stood up respectfully when the anthem was sung. The concluded that there was nothing in it which could offend anyone's religious susceptibilities, and upheld their expulsion. On 11 August 1986, the reversed the High Court and ruled that the High Court had misdirected itself because the question is not whether a particular religious belief or practice appeals to our reason or sentiment but whether the belief is genuinely and conscientiously held as part of the profession or practice of a religion. 'Our personal views and reactions are irrelevant.'

The Supreme Court affirmed the principle that it is not for a secular judge to sit in judgment on the correctness of a religious belief. Supreme Court observed in its ruling 'There is no provision of law which obliges anyone to sing the National Anthem nor is it disrespectful to the National Anthem if a person who stands up respectfully when the National Anthem is sung does not join the singing. Proper respect is shown to the National Anthem by standing up when the National Anthem is sung. It will not be right to say that disrespect is shown by not joining in the singing. Standing up respectfully when the National Anthem is sung but not singing oneself clearly does not either prevent the singing of the National Anthem or cause disturbance to an assembly engaged in such singing so as to constitute the offence mentioned in s. On 30 November 2016, Supreme Court of India ordered the National Anthem must be played before movies in theaters, in order to instill 'committed patriotism and nationalism'.

This was the first arrest of its kind made by a state government in India. In January 2018, the government reversed its stance and requested that the Supreme Court rescind the order until a government panel could consider the issue in more depth; the court agreed, and so around 9 January 2018 the National Anthem ceased being compulsory in movie theaters. Historical significance The composition was first sung during a convention of the in on 27 December 1911. It was sung on the second day of the convention, and the agenda of that day devoted itself to a loyal welcome of George V on his visit to India. The event was reported thus in the British Indian press: 'The Bengali poet sang a song composed by him specially to welcome the Emperor.' ( Statesman, Dec.

28, 1911) 'The proceedings began with the singing by of a song specially composed by him in honour of the Emperor.' ( Englishman, Dec. 28, 1911) 'When the proceedings of the Indian National Congress began on Wednesday 27th December 1911, a Bengali song in welcome of the Emperor was sung.

A resolution welcoming the Emperor and Empress was also adopted unanimously.' ( Indian, Dec. 29, 1911) Counter arguments Many historians aver that the newspaper reports cited above were misguided. The confusion arose in British Indian press since a different song, ' written in by Rambhuj Chaudhary, was sung on the same occasion in praise of the monarch.

The nationalist Indian press stated this difference of events clearly: 'The proceedings of the Congress party session started with a prayer in Bengali to praise God (song of benediction). This was followed by a resolution expressing loyalty to King George V.

Then another song was sung welcoming King George V.' (, Dec.28,1911) 'The annual session of Congress began by singing a song composed by the great Bengali poet Ravindranath Tagore. Then a resolution expressing loyalty to King George V was passed. A song paying a heartfelt homage to King George V was then sung by a group of boys and girls.' ( The Bengalee, Dec. 28, 1911) Even the report of the annual session of the Indian National Congress of December 1911 stated this difference: 'On the first day of 28th annual session of the Congress, proceedings started after singing Vande Mataram. On the second day the work began after singing a patriotic song by Babu Ravindranath Tagore.

Messages from well wishers were then read and a resolution was passed expressing loyalty to King George V. Afterwards the song composed for welcoming King George V and Queen Mary was sung.' On 10 November 1937, Tagore wrote a letter to Mr Pulin Bihari Sen about the controversy. That letter in Bengali can be found in Tagore's biography Ravindrajivani, volume II page 339 by Prabhatkumar Mukherjee. 'A certain high official in His Majesty's service, who was also my friend, had requested that I write a song of felicitation towards the Emperor.

The request simply amazed me. It caused a great stir in my heart.

In response to that great mental turmoil, I pronounced the victory in Jana Gana Mana of that Bhagya Bidhata ed. God of Destiny of India who has from age after age held steadfast the reins of India's chariot through rise and fall, through the straight path and the curved. That Lord of Destiny, that Reader of the Collective Mind of India, that Perennial Guide, could never be George V, George VI, or any other George. Even my official friend understood this about the song. After all, even if his admiration for the crown was excessive, he was not lacking in simple common sense.' Again in his letter of 19 March 1939 Tagore writes: 'I should only insult myself if I cared to answer those who consider me capable of such unbounded stupidity as to sing in praise of George the Fourth or George the Fifth as the Eternal Charioteer leading the pilgrims on their journey through countless ages of the timeless history of mankind.' (Purvasa, Phalgun, 1354, p.

738.) Moreover, Tagore was hailed as a patriot who wrote other songs too apart from 'Jana Gana Mana' lionising the Indian independence movement. He renounced his knighthood in protest against the 1919.

The Knighthood (i.e. The title of 'Sir') was conferred on him by the same King George V after receiving the for ' from the government of Sweden. Two of Tagore's more politically charged compositions, ' ('Where the Mind is Without Fear', Gitanjali Poem #35) and ' ('If They Answer Not to Thy Call, Walk Alone'), gained mass appeal, with the latter favoured by Gandhi and Netaji.

Regional aspects Another controversy is that only those provinces that were under British rule, i.e., , / and, were mentioned. None of the princely states –, or – or the states in, which are now integral parts of were mentioned.

But opponents of this proposition claim that mentioned only the border states of to include complete. Whether the would form a part of a liberated was a matter of debate even till. 'Dravida' includes the people from the south (though Dravida specifically means Tamil and even then, the same consideration is not given for the south since there are many distinct people whereas in the north each of the distinct people are named) and 'Jolodhi' (Stanza 1) is Sanskrit for 'seas and oceans'. Even North-East which was under British rule or holy rivers apart from Ganges and Yamuna are not mentioned to keep the song in its rhythm. India has 29 states, 7 union territories. In 2005, there were calls to delete the word 'Sindh' and substitute it with the word.

The argument was that was no longer a part of India, having become part of Pakistan as a result of the of 1947. Opponents of this proposal hold that the word 'Sindh' refers to the and to culture, and that Sindhi people are an integral part of India's cultural fabric. The declined to change the national anthem and the wording remains unchanged. On 17 December 2013, MLA of, cited article of ' published on 26 January 1950, stating that originally the word 'Kamarup' was included in the song, but was later changed to 'Sindhu' and claimed that Kamarup should be re-included. To this, the then minister replied that the state government would initiate steps in this regard after response from the newspaper. The debate was further joined by the then minister, mentioning ' (edited by Tagore himself) etc. Where he said Kamrup was not mentioned.

Incidentally a myth regarding this song needs to be refuted and laid to rest. It is on record that the song was written on 11 December 1911. On 12 December 1911 the Delhi Durbar met to honour King Emperor George V. Obviously a poem written on 11 December could not be intended for an event the following day. The song was actually sung at the twenty-seventh session of the Indian National Congress, Calcutta on 28 December 1911 as the opening song at the beginning of the day's proceedings.

Thereafter it was also sung at the foundation day anniversary of Adi Brahma Samaj in February 1912 and included in their collection of psalms, Brahma Sangit. Chandra, Balakrishnan, Pali, Vijay kumar.
