Jana Gana Mana" is the #national anthem of the #Republic of India. It was originally composed as #Bharoto Bhagyo #Bidhata in #Bengali by polymath #Rabindranath #Tagore. The first stanza of the song Bharoto Bhagyo Bidhata was adopted by the #Constituent #Assembly of #India as the #National Anthem on 24 January 1950. A formal rendition of the national anthem takes approximately 52 seconds. A shortened version consisting of the first and last lines (and taking about 20 seconds to play) is also staged occasionally. It was first publicly sung on 27 December 1911 at the #Calcutta (now #Kolkata) Session of the #Indian #National #Congress.
Outside of Calcutta, the song was first sung by the bard himself at a session in #Besant #Theosophical College in #Madanapalle, Andhra Pradesh on 28 February 1919 when Tagore visited the college and sung the song. The song enthralled the college students and Margaret Cousins, then vice-principal of the college (also an expert in European music and wife of Irish poet Dr. James Cousins). Based on the notes provided by Tagore himself, the song was preserved in 1919 in western notation at Madanapalle of Andhra Pradesh by Mrs. Margaret Cousins and her students.
