Meaning of our National Anthem?
I was wondering how many of you know the meaning of our National Anthem. I have seen Americans shedding tears when they sing their National Anthem. Come to think of it, even I get emotional when I sing our Naional Anthem, but, that is purely because of respect, not because I understand what I sing. I am not talking here about the meaning of name of places like Punjab, Sindh, Gujarat, Maratha... So, I just wanted to know if I am left alone or there are many others who sing without knowing what it really means. If someone knows, can you kindly post the meaning here.
I know that it 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.
But, I want meaning, word by word. Thanks.
