[Reader-list] National Anthem - In whose praise ?

[Pawan Durani]

Dear Readers ,

Many years back I had read that "Jana Gana Mana" or national anthem
was written in praise of King & Queen Of England. There were quite a
few justification about it written like the name of states were only
those which were under English control etc etc.

If someone has good knowledge about this 'controversy' , I would love to know .

How true is it ?

Regards

Pawan

Maybe dear friend Shuddha may write a note on this.
