Rajya Sabha BJP MP Subramanian Swamy wrote a letter to Prime Minister Narendra Modi on December 1 seeking a change to India’s national anthem written by world poet Rabindranath Tagore.
Modi acknowledged receiving the letter on Thursday (December 10).
And with that a new debate has begun.
Hence, objections have been heard from time to time in different places in the Sangh regarding various writings of Rabindranath. Even after Modi came to power, Dinnath Batra, the leader of the Sangh education cell, recommended that Rabindranath’s writings be removed from the NCERT curriculum.
Modi, however, has recited several Rabindranath poems on various occasions in the past two years looking at the Bengal Assembly polls. When other leaders of his party came to Bengal lately, they kept citing Rabindranath. Faced with this situation, Subramanian Swamy’s tweet sparked a new controversy.
Why is Subramaniam opposed to the national anthem ‘Jana Gana Mann’? The veteran BJP deputy claims he refers to the minds of a large part of the country’s youth, not just him. One of his objections is the use of the word ‘Sindhu’ in the national anthem.
According to the husband, some of the words (Sindhu) in the current national anthem create unnecessary conflict. Especially in the context of post-independence India. Instead of Rabindranath Tagore’s ‘Jana Gana Mann’, Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose used the song ‘Shubh Sukh Chan’, the first line of the interim government’s national anthem ‘Kawami Tarana’ sung by the Indian National Army (INA) in the style from ‘Jana Gana Mann’. .
The story goes that in 1943, Mumtaz Hossain and Colonel Abid Hasan, two members of the INA, wrote the Safrani song under the direction of Subhash Basu. The melody was composed by Captain Ram Singh Tagore. The melody difference was not special.
The first line of Rabindranath’s ‘Jana Gana Mann’ is sung as the national anthem and lasts 52 seconds. On the other hand, it takes 55 seconds to sing the first line of INA’s ‘Kawami Tarana’. Swami mentioned a statement by Rajendra Prasad, the country’s first president, about the change of words in the national anthem. That is, in 1949, Rajendra Prasad said, the words of the national anthem can be changed or modified.
But where is the husband’s problem? The husband’s objection to the word ‘Sindhu’ is mentioned in the song sung by INA. Apart from that, many are recalling that the exclusion of the word ‘Indo’ raises the question of the RSS theory of a united India. The question also arises as to whether the husband, as a BJP deputy, was correct in Sangh’s theory and dream. The husband, however, did not want to go into so many words.
According to him, the Narendra Modi government will make the necessary changes before January 23 next year.
