To begin with, India's national anthem, Jana Gana Mana adhinayaka, was written by Rabindranath Tagore in honor of King George V and the Queen of England when they visited India in 1919. To honor their visit Pundit Motilal Nehru had the five stanzas included,which are in praise of the King and Queen. (And most of us think it is in the praise of our great motherland!!!)
In the original Bengali verses only those provinces that were under British rule, i.e. Punjab, Sindh,Gujarat,Maratha.. etc. were mentioned. None of the princely states were recognized which are integral parts of India now - Kashmir,Rajasthan,Andhra, Mysore or Kerala. Neither the Indian Ocean nor the Arabian Sea was included, since they were directly under Portuguese rule at that time.
The Jana Gana Mana Adhinayaka implies that King George V is the lord of the masses and Bharata Bhagya Vidhata is "the bestower of good fortune". Following is a translation of the five stanzas which glorify the King:
1st stanza - (Indian) People wake up remembering your good name and ask for your blessings and they sing your glories.
2nd stanza - around your throne people of all religions come and give their love and anxiously wait to hear your kind words.

Why is it everytime muslims name is join to anything controverisal anti- national even if there is no way they are related. Amir khan, SRK have always tried to project India in very positive way. But they are muslim so the only way for them is not project and praise India in international level but to die for no reason. None of the the so called community ever tried to project Brand India in so big way as these muslims has done and still question is always raised on their indianness. perhap for people like you the only way to be patriot is to born in community otherwise its not worth to be called indian

SRK petriot? ha ha good joke! by the way truth always heart, just like you are feeling right now.
RGV has inserted his own lines between Jana Gana Mana telling that what the poet expected and dreamt for this nation and see what is happening to this nation today...just that. In fact he is describing the disappointment which those freedom fighters would have felts and those who wrote such patriotic anthems after seeing the sorry state of the nation which is touching the bottom of characterlessness.
Fault of RGV is that there are certain defined Yes and Nos in our constitution and one can't tamper with the anthem and national flag.
Ironically national flag has been tampered so manytimes be it cricket ground or be it congress flag....its just the song where court found it objectionable. Anyway none has got right to play with these things..but then it should be followed with national flag too and congress flag should be banned!

One can temper with national trademarks but not in negative way. Anyway RGV is waste except dark underworld story he doesn't have anythink worthy movie to show. He is just trying to get cheap publicity as he lost so heavily in last few years in making biggest flops so any free publicity is welcome and is encouraged

s agreed to ur point .. wht about afzal guru and kasab y supreme court is not hanging dem ?
Respected Lawyer Arun Jaitley, I can understand, if we go through finer details of this case you might have put up some points which are worth thinking. But it is better if you do not defend such case else it will be a handy tool in the hands of Congress, Left and other so called secular parties to malign you and BJP's image.
Re: Preferably Arun Jaitley Should not defend such cases
by Muruganswamy on May 26, 2009 03:14 PM
He took this case intentionally to bring the notice towards Congress who should be culprit for the same degree of offence for distorting national flag.

only one problem the tri colour is quite a symbol for flag for a lot of countries you arrange and rearrange and you keep changing the continents too. of course the wheel in centre make the difference but congress missed it. And by the way indian national congress flag before india's independence was of tricolour with charka
Well sorry to say but u've got the whole concept of FEd wrong. As it does not empower an individual to disrespect of hurt someone feeling just as the cost of his pleasure or entertainment or 4 others. If FED is what you said that anybody has got the right to disrespect any lady on the road do any ill things with her, disgrace her and what not. And all this do not fall under vindict of FED. If this is FED that the person who made a cartoon out of Hazrat ohammad should be hoarded with prizes and the mentally sick person who made a naked painting out of Indian godesses should be praised but does not happend. Just think logically why?????????????

Then if its Freedom of Expression then a Guy has freedom to rape a lady on road or murder anybody, as thats his Freedom of Expresion then why is it encountered as a crime. This is because we live in a civilized society and not in Stone Age

by Amit Phatak on May 26, 2009 02:00 PM
thats a bad example of freedom of expression and doesn't even apply here.. (rape is a punishable crime) in this case, there is only one question: can you find a single line that is untrue in RGV's version of the anthem?
Re: Re: What RGV did is not freedom of expression

Dear..you freedom of expression end when it starts for others...mind it here we are talking about National Anthem! It has to be respected to the highest level..You talk about MATURE COUNTRY???? Will you leave your mother if she is a poor & immature? You got to respect your country just like your mother...
I just can't understand what is the problem with RGV...can't he understand that there are many decent and legal ways to get publicity. These days he is messing up with national spirit quite often. Looks like he is still under shock after RGV Ki Aag...

what about all regional parties using the indian flag for their party symbols? e.g. NCP? india is a immature and a hypocritical democracy..

National flag is itself a copy of Hungary !! Therefore anybody can copy it and modify for personal gains but National Anthem is not copied from anywhere else that's y it can't be copied and reciprocated !!

Freedom of expression is good as long as it doesn't create problem otherwise we all can go a long way trying to use our freedom of expression which will not be good to hear and see and listen for anyone right
