Jan Gan Man Adhinaayak Jay Hey,Bhaarat Bhaagyo Vidhataawas first sung in Calcutta Session of the Indian National Congress on 27 December 1911. The text, though Bengali, is highly sanskritised. Controversy shadowed Jana Gana Mana from the day of its first rendition in 1911 at the Congress session in Calcutta. King George V was scheduled to arrive in the city on 30 December and a section of the Anglo-Indian English press in Calcutta thought – and duly reported – that Tagore’s anthem was a homage to the emperor.Report of the annual session of the Indian National Congress“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.”So, the song written by Ravindranathji was not the song for welcoming King george V, it was the song ofBenediction(praying to God). Since Tagore did not immediately refute the allegation, the perception spread that the song was a eulogy to the King George V.The Jana Gana Mana was followed by a Hindi song composed by Pt. Rambhuj Chaudhary for King George V. This song can be found in the book ‘Our National Anthem’ by Rabindra Kumar Dasgupta published in 1993 by Manjula Bose, Tagore ResearchInstitute, Kolkata.A month after Jana Gana Mana was sung at the Congress session, a circular was issued by the Director of Public Instructions for East Bengal that banned Government servants from sending their children to Shantiniketan- a school run by Rabindra Nath Tagore.On 10 November 1937, Tagore wrote a letter to Mr Pulin Bihari Sen [The letter written in Bengali can be found in Ravindrajivani (Tagore's biography) by Prabhatkumar Mukherjee, volume II page 339.]:“A certain high official in His Majesty’s service, who was also my friend, had requested that I write a songof 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 Vidhata 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.”This Concludes that since RabindraNathji didn't writefor the King and his Sycophant servicemen, so Government servants were banned from sending their children to Shantiniketan.The original song has 5 stanzas of which only the first stanza is recognized as National Anthem by British follower congress Government as it could hurt the sentiments of foreigner.The later stanza ask people to awaken depicting"Bharat Bhagya Vidhata" as "chir sarathi" means"immemorial charioteer" guiding the people of Bharat since ages, is a close resembling of Krishna from Mahabharat."Bharat Bhagya Vidhata( Builder of Indian future )" is the Supreme God, who is "Adhinayak" i.e. Leader of Heroes of this land.Since Britisher had arrived in Bharat a few Hundred years ago, their Monarchy can not be the guiding force for Bhartiya people for ages. So the controversyaround the song "Jan Man Gan" by Rabindranath Tagore is a myth created by Anglo-English Media and INC politicians misleading people from the real meaning of the song.
