Indian National Anthem Best in the world - UNESCO

UNESCO, announced Indian National Anthem as the best national anthem amongst 200 odd countries in the world and there is no doubt to whom the honour has been given. The Indian Anthem reflects true diversity, maturity and destiny of India and Indians! The creator of Jana-Gana-Mana, Sri Rabindra Nath Tagore (Nobel Laureate) must be smiling in Heavens today for this recognition of Indian Anthem on the world stage. It is a proud moment for all Indians across the world.

Jana Gana Mana written in Sanskritised Bengali, it is the first of five stanzas of a Brahmo hymn composed and scored by Nobel laureate Rabindranath Tagore.
It was first sung at the Calcutta Session of the Indian National Congress,on 27 December 1911. Jana Gana Mana was officially adopted by the Constituent Assembly as the Indian national anthem on January 24, 1950. The music for the “current version” is said to be derived from a composition for the song by Ram Singh Thakur, although some dispute this.
A formal rendition of the national anthem takes about forty-eight to fifty-two seconds.
