'National anthem' and 'National Song' are the heritage of any country, due to which the identities of that nation are connected. The feelings of 'national anthem' and 'national anthem' of each nation may differ, but ultimately this is an expression of the spirit of patriotism. On the occasion of the 72nd anniversary of Independence Day, we are going to tell you about India's "National Anthem" and "National Song", whereby most people of the country are still unknown or can not make a difference in either. So let us first know about the national anthem of India ...  

Jana-Gan-Mana is the national anthem of India, which is sung on many occasions. It was composed by noted poet Rabindranath Tagore. It was originally written in the Bengali language, but later it was also translated into Hindi and English and it was accepted by the Constituent Assembly on January 24, 1950.  

Rabindranath Tagore composed the national anthem in the year 1911 itself. It was first sung at the Indian National Congress meeting in Calcutta (then Calcutta) on December 27, 1911. It takes a total of 52 seconds to sing the entire edition of the National Anthem. 

What is the meaning of the national anthem 'Jan-Gan-Mana'?
The national anthem was originally written in the Bengali language, in which the name of Sindh was included. But later it was amended to Sindhu as Sindhu because Sindh had become part of Pakistan after the partition of the country. 

What is the national song of India?
The national anthem of India is 'Vande Mataram'. Its creator is Bankim Chandra Chattopadhyay. He composed it in Sanskrit and Bangla mixed languages in the year 1882. It was the source of inspiration for people in the fight for independence. It also has the same status as India's national anthem 'Jan-Gan-Mana'. It was first sung in the Indian National Congress session in 1896. The national anthem is about 52 seconds. 

Controversy over 'Vande Mataram' as the national anthem
The controversy over 'Vande Mataram' has been running from long ago. It could have been selected as a national anthem, but due to opposition from some Muslims, it did not get the status of the national anthem. Indeed, Muslims said that in this song mother Durga has been praised and she has been seen as a symbol of the nation while worshipping a person or item in Islam has been considered wrong.
