    "Jana Gana Mana" (lit.

     'Thou Art the Ruler of the Minds of All People') is the


    national anthem of the Republic of India. It was originally composed as
    Bharoto Bhagyo Bidhata in Bengali by polymath Rabindranath Tagore[1][2][3]
    on 11 December 1911.[4][5][6] The first stanza of the song Bharoto Bhagyo
    Bidhata was adopted in its Hindi translation by the Constituent Assembly of
    India as the National Anthem on 24 January 1950.[7][8] A formal rendition of
    the national anthem takes approximately 52 seconds. A shortened version
    consisting of the first and last lines (and taking about 20 seconds to play) is also
    staged occasionally.[9] It was first publicly sung on 27 December 1911 at the
    Calcutta (now Kolkata) Session of the Indian National Congress

    The National Anthem of India is titled "Jana Gana Mana". The song was
    originally composed in Bengali by India's first Nobel laureate Rabindranath
    Tagore on 11 December 1911.[12][13][14] The parent song, 'Bharoto Bhagyo
    Bidhata' is a Brahmo hymn which has five verses and only the first verse has
    been adopted as National Anthem. If put forward succinctly, the National
    Anthem conveys the spirit of pluralism or in more popular term the concept of
    'Unity in Diversity', which lies at the core of India's cultural heritage.

    The lyrics of the song first appeared in 5 stanzas in Bengali magazine in an issue
    of Tatwabodhini patrika. The melody of the song, in raga Alhaiya Bilawal, was
    composed as a Brahmo Hymn by Tagore himself with possibly some help from
    his musician grand-nephew Dinendranath Tagore. The final form of the song
    before the first public performance was set on 11 December 1911.

    The song was first publicly sung on the second day of the annual session of the
    Indian National Congress in Calcutta (now Kolkata) on 27 December 1911 by
    Rabindranath Tagore's niece in her school assembly.[17] Then, it was followed
    in January 1912 at the annual event of the Adi Brahmo Samaj,[18][19]
    however, it was largely unknown except to the readers of the Adi Brahmo
    Samaj journal, Tattwabodhini Patrika. The poem was published in January
    1912, under the title Bharat Bhagya Bidhata in the Tatwabodhini Patrika, which
    was the official publication of the Brahmo Samaj with Tagore then the Editor
    In 1912, the song was performed by Sarala Devi Chaudhurani, Tagore's niece,
    along with the group of school students, in front of prominent Congress
    members like Bishan Narayan Dhar, Indian National Congress President, and
    Ambika Charan Majumdar.
