On January 24, 1950, after the Independence, the song was institutionalized officially as the national anthem. Originally written in Bengali , the poem reflects the enormous power of India’s diversity in unity. The length of the anthem is 52 second.
Tagore later translated this song in English by naming it ‘The Morning Song of India’. Tagore wrote five lengthy stanzas to ‘Jana Gana Mana’, but only the first para was recorded as our national anthem due to time constraints.
