Tagore and the National Anthem
I have seen umpteen fwds that says the Indian National Anthem - Jana Gana Mana - was written by Tagore in reference to Geroge V. It is a pretty old allegation, almost as old as the poem itself! From the minimal readings I have done, it was tuff for me to believe this allegation. This site had a good discussion on this issue; no wonder there was so much of room for confusion. But I feel itz mean for somebody to doubt the intentions of Gurudeva.
Doing what you like is freedom; liking what you do is happiness.
