A STUDY ON THE AWARENESS NATIONAL

ANTHEM

Introduction • Jana Gana Mana is the national anthem of india. Written in bengali,

the first of the five stanzas of the bramho hymn titled Bharot Bhagyo Bidhata are attributed to nobel laureate Rabindranath Tagore.

• The underlying message of Jana Gana Mana is pluralism.

Cont..• It was adopted by the constituent assembly as the national anthem of

india on 24 january 1950. It was first sung on 27 december 1911 at the calcutta session of the Indian National Congress.

• A formal rendition of the national anthem takes 52 sec. A shortened version consisting of the first and last lines taking about 20 sec to play and is also staged occasionally.

Lyrics The poem is written in a literary register of the Bengali language called sadhu bhasa. The song has been written almost entirely using nouns that also can function as verbs. Most of the nouns of the song are in use in all major languages in India. Therefore, the original song is quite clearly understandable, and in fact, remains almost unchanged in several widely different Indian languages.

National supremacy• To instil “committed patriotism and nationalism”, the Supreme Court

ordered that “all the cinema halls in India shall play the national anthem before the feature film starts and all present in the hall are obliged to stand up to show respect to the national anthem” as a part of their “sacred obligation”.• Discarding notions of “any different notion or the perception of

individual rights”, a bench of Justices added that the movie screen shall have the image of the national flag when the anthem is being played and that doors of the halls will remain shut during the anthem so that no disturbance is caused.

National vision• “The directions are issued, for love and respect for the motherland is

reflected when one shows respect to the National Anthem as well as to the National Flag. That apart, it would instil the feeling within one, a sense committed patriotism and nationalism,” said the bench of justice.

National obligations• Every citizens of the country must realize that they live in a nation

and are duty bound to show respect to National Anthem, which is the symbol of the constitutional patriotism and inherent national quality.• when the National Anthem is sung or played, it is imperative on the

part of every one present to show due respect and honour.• when the National Anthem is sung, the concept of protocol

associated with it has its inherent roots in national identity, national integrity and constitutional patriotism.
