Do you know your country's National Anthem by heart? Can you sing the Anthem?

Hi Aunty, I learnt our country's National Anthem in my school days itself and i can also sing it fully. Every day in our school assembly after our school prayers are finished we use to sing it, and also during our sports day on practice sessions The band team use to sing it with the drums and flute. It was very pleasant to hear. And also would like to share an incident Which happened in the movie theater. Me along with my school friends had been to a Hindi movie in some theater. It was a SRK movie and the movie name is KKKG. In some school program in abroad the shahrukh son oin the movie sings our national anthem. You know one thing the whole crowd in the theater who was watching the movie stood up. We should always respect our national anthem where ever we are. Have a great day.

I'm from the US. I went to a preparatory school for a couple years in middle school, and we had to sing the national anthem every morning at assembly. I learned it there, and I still know some of it- I mean, I know the tune but sometimes I get the verses mixed up when I try to sing it by myslef, lol.

Yes, I do. I learnt it as a child. I lived in a different country but I learnt the Indian National anthem at the age of 3...my parents taught it to me at home. I also knew the anthem of the country I lived in. In India, most of the schools sing the national anthem everyday during the assembly ...after every function related to the school. So, the kids are aware of it. My 3 year old knows the national anthem...his rendition is not perfect, of course...but he will learn with practice.

Yes, I can sing the national Anthem by heart. I always feel a shiver going up my spine when I hear the national Anthem sung by anybody. I particularly like the national anthem when it is played by the music band of the Army during Independence day and the Republic day. JAI HIND.

Hi Buchi_bulla, yes I do. But quite recently I learnt that this national anthem that has been written by Rabindranath Tagore was actually in honor of some colonial member who arrived in India around that time! It also makes sense because if you interpret it, "adhi nayak", "bhagya vidhaata", and some other words that seem to refer to an individual rather than any national spirit. Was it psychophancy? But as a poem, if it was psychophancy, it is laughable, isn't it? He sure had his ways of ridiculing. Wish I'd not read that article. :(

Not only we IndianS each and every person respects their respecive National Anthems. We have to. Not only that we have to respect other nations National Anthems in the samwe way as we are doing for our nationa ANTHEM. "India is my country. All Indians are my brothers and sisters ........" - Indian National Anthem.

Of course. I know the national anthem of my country and can sing it in proper tune fully by rote. And I would also stand in attention if it is played on the road too.I am fifty three years old and cannot help feeling that I am commiting a crime if I move when the National Anthem is played or sung.

yes, I love my nation and pray for its progress too. I learnt it in my childhood in school where every wednesday we had to sing it in the morning assembly. yes i very much can sing it in one go without any mistakes.

Hello Buchi_bulla. Reading this discussion reminds me of my national anthem and I tried to hum it to see if I could remember all the words to find that there are some minor parts that I cannot remember. But if I follow the song, there is no problem for me at all. Have a good day, friend.

i am an indian and i know it from my school days, and i hope that every indians knows it. jaihindh!

Yes, I can sing the National Anthem fully. I am sure majority of Indians do. The Indian School culture is such that the daily school prayer includes the National Anthem and you are sure to remember the Anthem.

i love my country and i proudly say that i know abt my National Anthem of my country

hi, definitly we should know our nationsl anthem by heart, we should respect our country by singing. yeah, i know fully, even my son knows the song, in their school they teach like the prayer. he will ask if he has any doubts in that. thankyou for the topic, have a good day. NATIONAL ANTHEM OF INDIA Composed by Rabindranath Tagore, the song Jana Gana Mana was first sung on December 27, 1911 at the Calcutta session of the Indian National Congress. On January 24, 1950, the Constituent Assembly adopted the song as the National Anthem of India.The complete song consists of five stanzas. The first stanza comprises the full version of the National Anthem. " Jana Gana Mana Adhinayaka Jaya He Bharat Bhagya Vidhata Punjab Sindh Gujarat Maratha Dravida Utkala Banga Vindhya Himachal Yamuna Ganga Ucchala Jaladhi Taranga Tubh Shubha Name Jage Tubh Shubha Ashisha Mange Gahe Tubh Jaya Gata Jan Gan Mangaldayak Jay He Bharat Bhagya Vidhata Jaye He! Jaye He! Jaye He! Jaye,Jaye,Jaye,Jaye He "

yes i do! I think its inherited with every indian! National Anthem is our pride and every indian should know it! Jaya He!

I sure do. I can sing it in English, I can sing it in French, and I can play it on the piano, and organ. I can also play it using the buttons on my cellphone, and if I had glasses filled up with different amounts of water, I could play it on those too. LOL My husband is an American, living up here now, and he's even learned the Canadian National Anthem.

Hi Buchi, here we do learn our country’s National Anthem by heart since primary school. School children are taught to sing the School Anthem as well as the National Anthem when having music class twice in a week. Every kid learns to sing the National Anthem in our National language, no matter he or she is from either Chinese school or Tamil school. Since all kids learn this anthem since childhood, therefore most of us can sing it nicely without leaving out a single word. I think only those pupils who never pay any attention to it while having music lesson couldn’t sing the National Anthem well without missing any words for sure. At the same time all the pupils are taught to stand solemnly when the anthem was sung. This is to show we love and respect our country. Happy posting and have a nice day

hi Buchi_bulla, Yes every Indian should and must learn National Anthem of India,it is mandatory in previous days that is my childhood days,now it is compulsory or not i do not know,till now i can sing that national anthem without break,still iam remember the national anthem ,as an Indian how can i for got

Yes, i know my country's national anthem fully and i can sing it really perfect without making any mistake.i've been singing my country's national anthem from my childhood.

I know my country's national anthem by heart and every citizen of the country has to know that. Although Jana gana mana is our national anthem, but vande matheram must be the national anthem of our country. But all in our constitution. The lengthiest national anthem is the national anthem of greece which has 138 stanzas and the shortest national anthem is the national anthem of Japan which just has 4 sentences. There are some people who doesnt know their country's national anthem. But most of our countrymen knew hindi. Thanks for starting the discussion and have a great day. Jai Hind.

Yes I can sing it fully without any mistakes. I learnt it when I was a small girl. I feel proud when i hear or sing my Country's National Anthem. I feel, If we do not know our National Anthem, its meaning, its value, then we should feel ashamed of ourself. Our National Anthem is our Nation's pride
