Happy Independence Day!

Dearest Friends,

Wishing all my dear Indian friends a very Happy Independence day!
In honor of this special day, I would like to present to you our National Anthem - composed by Shri Rabindranath Tagore and a translation of the same!
Jai Hind!

india-flag

" Jana Gana Mana Adhinayaka Jaya He

Bharat Bhagya Vidhata
Punjab Sindh Gujarat Maratha
Dravida Utkala Banga
Vindhya Himachal Yamuna Ganga

Ucchala Jaladhi Taranga
Tava Shubha Name Jage
Tava Shubha Ashisha Mange
Gahe Tava Jaya Gata

Jan Gan Mangaldayak Jay He
Bharat Bhagya Vidhata
Jaye He ! Jaye He ! Jaye He !
Jaye,Jaye,Jaye,Jaye He "


The translation of the Indian National Anthem in English:

Thou are the ruler of the minds of all people, dispenser of India's destiny.

The name rouses the hearts of Punjab, Sind, Gujurat and Maratha. Of the Dravid and Orissa and Bengal.

It Echoes in the hills of Vindhyas and Himalayas, mingles in the music of Yamuna and Ganga and is chanted by the waves of the Indian Sea.

They pray for your blessing and sing thy praise. The salvation of all peaople is thy hand, thou dispenser of India's destiny. Victory, Victory, Victory to thee.
