The national anthem of India is "Jana Gana Mana." It was written and composed by Rabindranath Tagore, a renowned poet, philosopher, and Nobel laureate. "Jana Gana Mana" was adopted as the national anthem of India on January 24, 1950, when the country's constitution came into effect.
The lyrics of "Jana Gana Mana" are in the Bengali language. The song is a tribute to India and reflects the country's diversity, unity, and pluralistic ethos. It celebrates the beauty and greatness of India and invokes a sense of national pride and devotion.
The English translation of the anthem is as follows:
Thou art the ruler of the minds of all people, Dispenser of India's destiny. Thy name rouses the hearts of the Punjab, Sindh, Gujarat, and Maratha, Of the Dravida and Odisha and Bengal. It echoes in the hills of Vindhyas and Himalayas, mingles in the music of Yamuna and Ganges, and is chanted by the waves of the Indian Sea. They pray for thy blessings and sing thy praise. The salvation of all people is in thy hand, Thou dispenser of India's destiny. Victory, victory, victory to thee.
