It is a solemn patriotic song which is officially taken by a country as an expression of national identity. The National Anthem of India, “Jana Gana Mana”, was written by Nobel Laureate Rabindranath Tagore. The rhythm in which we sing the national anthem today was composed in Madanapalli, a small district in Andhra Pradesh. The song showcases the national heritage of India and exhibits patriotism, pride and national allegiance. It acts as a catalyst to the feeling of national pride.
The underlying meaning of our National Anthem is pluralism. It talks about the differences of culture, creed, caste and religion and the feeling of unity which lie inside every Indian.

You are the ruler of minds of people, let the victory be with you,
The dispenser of the destiny of India —Punjab, Sindh, Gujarat, Maratha, Dravid, Orissa, Bengal
There are echoes in hills of Vidhya, and the Himalayas and music is mingled in Yamuna, and Ganga which is chanted by foaming waves of Indian Sea
Wake up listening to the auspicious name of yours and pray for your blessings, The saving of all the people is lying in your hands.
You are the one to impart well being to the people, the dispenser of the destiny of India
May you get victory, victory, and victory for you!
