India's National Anthem - Koenraad Elst - #IndicTalks

India's National Anthem is a controversial issue. Many can die for it. Many can die for burning it. And many oppose it for whole different reasons. It is opposed not only by certain section of the fundamentalist Islam, it is opposed not only by ultra leftists, communists and Maoists, but also by Hindu nationalists who think that it was written by Rabindranath Tagore, an Anglophile by many standards, in honor of the British Monarch George V and not in honor of India. Elst goes deep into this and tells us the truth.

The way Dr Elst concludes about the Jana Gana Mana as best choice is where he delivers his deep thought about what India must be and Indians never forget. That parts of India that has been taken over by Islam Punjab, Bengal and Sindh in its entirety will be hailed as to what constitutes India forever as long as it sung. This memory of Akhand Bharat now given up by even the RSS as an Impossibility is actually looking as the most likely Geopolitical outcome in practical terms. Pakistan is surely increasingly breaking up and whoever has read world history can see all the signs of its Disintegration and final dissolution.If India fails then China will pick up the fragments. That is why Chin is heavily into Pakistan, knowing it may break up and it can pick a large slice as an 'ally' and then Buffer itself against Jihad Forces that threaten it from South. Tagore never had Afghanistan in his mind. But Hindu history has that as the first Fort to fall after which Sindh mentioned in the Song was possible for Arab occupation. Strangely as Hindu India reaches the Moon which is Future its Geographical sphere of influence strteches now to Afghanistan which hindus lost as the First Frontier and garrison fort to fall under Islamic hordes and again at a time Islamic State or the same Arab Caliphate is attempting to set up a Base or Al Qaeda to make a Final Islamic invasion of Hindustan that failed and is failing as Pakistan breaks up as Failed State.So Dr Koenraad Elst is right that we Indians must sing this song to keep that in mind the Greater India or Akhand Bharat that is taking shape by itself forged by necessity of World's historical forces.( Note carefully Pakistan Map keeps shrinking all this while since 1947 Basically in this contest of two Ideas, Islam is surely Losing space. ). The West that once wanted to contain India propping up Pakistan and even the Jihad group is handing over on a platter Akhand Bharat which is Afghanistan and urging Indian Army to take over. This anybody who understands history can see is a historic opportunity but the New Avatar of Nehru and Bagyavi Datha is only now after 4 years since Obama came and sat chewing gum to handover Akhand Bharat, is slowly realizing the Consequences of not Reunifying the Greater India. A fresh Invasion by the Caliphate of Osama and Hasan bin Laden. Since land access to Upaganastan not sung in Tagore's anthem is through Pakistan occupied Kashmir all this talk of taking back POK.A wiser move would be to avoid a conflict with Pakistan and weaken it even more and move into Afghanistan and encircle it. This denies it at once Strategic Depth and denies Al Qaeda and Jihadis their Qaeda or Base.From there it is only matter of time before rest of this Western wing of United India comes into Indian holdings, by itself. Modi seems to finally getting my point on Akhand Bharat as indispensable to National security.The song with Akhand Bharat idea is therefore more than just a Poetic sentiment but has Ideological elements to forge Greater India.. .. . .

God speaks to all interested Hindu's through Koenraad's lips. Sadly, looking at viewership count, India remains in the DARK AGES as they have not come around to discovering, recognizing and exhalting the truth spoken by Koenraad.
Koenraad's contribution to India's cause is immensely incalculable and he should be awarded a Bharat Ratna. Sadly, the people who make these decisions are too dense to recognize jewels of talent.

Sadly, most Indians are too busy worshipping Shah Rukh Khan and Amitabh Bachhan and dancing to item numbers.

"Saare jahan se achcha Jana Gana Mana hamara". Lol, someone should've said that to Iqbal to his face, that Tagore-jealous Islamic fanatic.

[singularsink]

Thanks Dr. Elst, finally someone fully clarified all the confusions around this great poem by one of the greatest poet ever and our own.

[aamipankaj]

Complete national anthem translation:
1. Oh! the ruler of the mind of the people,
Victory be to You, dispenser of the destiny of India!
Punjab, Sind, Gujrat, Maharastra,
Dravira, Orissa, and Bengal,
the Bindhya, the Himalayas, the Jamuna, the Ganges,
and the oceans with foaming waves all around
Wake up listening to Your auspicious name,
ask for Your auspicious blessings,
And sing to Your glorious victory.
Oh! You who impart well being to the people!
Victory be to You, dispenser of the destiny of India!
Victory, victory, victory to Thee!

2. Your call is announced continuously,
we heed Your gracious call.
The Hindus, Buddhists, Sikhs, Jains,
Muslims, and Christians,
The East and the West come
to the side of Your throne
And weave the garland of love.
Oh! You who bring in the unity of the people!
Victory be to You, dispenser of the destiny of India!

3. The way of life is somber as it moves through ups and downs.
But we, the pilgrims, have followed through ages.(yuge yuge)
Oh! Eternal Charioteer, the wheels of your chariot
echo day and night in the path
In the midst of fierce revolution
your conch shell sounds.
You save us from fear and misery.
Oh! You who guide the people through tortuous path!
Victory be to You, dispenser of the destiny of India!

4. During the bleakest of nights,
when the whole country was sick and in swoon
Wakeful remained Your incessant blessings
through Your lowered but winkless eyes.
Through nightmares and fears
You protected us on Your lap
Oh Loving Mother.
Oh! You who have removed the misery of the people!
Victory be to You, dispenser of the destiny of India!

5. The night is over, and the Sun has risen
over the eastern horizon.
The birds are singing, and a gentle auspicious breeze
is pouring the elixir of new life.
By the halo of Your compassion
India that was asleep is now waking
Victory be to You, the Supreme King!
dispenser of the destiny of India!

Truly we always felt about motherland and father whenever we sing our national anthem.

यदा यदा हि धर्मस्य ग्लानिर्भव- ति भारत ।

अभ्युत्थान- मधर्मस्य तदात्मानं सृजाम्यहम्- ॥

*The Quran contains at least 109 verses that speak of war with nonbelievers, usually on the basis of their status as non-Muslims. Some are quite graphic, with commands to chop off heads and fingers and kill infidels wherever they may be hiding. Muslims who do not join the fight are called 'hypocrites' and warned that Allah will send them to Hell if they do not join the slaughter.*


*Quran (4:74) - "Let those fight in the way of Allah who sell the life of this world for the other. This is the theological basis for today's suicide Bombers...*


*Quran (4:76) - "Those who believe fight in the cause of Allah, and those who disbelieve, fight in the cause of Taghut (Satan, etc.). So fight you against the friends of Shaitan (Satan)"*



*Quran (**5:33**) - "The punishment of those who wage war against Allah and His messenger and strive to make mischief in the land is only this, that they should be murdered or crucified or their hands and their feet should be cut off on opposite sides*


*Quran (**8:39**) - "And fight with them until there is no more fitna (disorder, unbelief) and religion is all for Allah"*


*Quran(9:5) - "So when the sacred months have passed away, then slay the idolaters wherever you find them, and take them captive the besiege them and lie in wait for them in every ambush, then if they repent and keep up prayer and pay the poor-rate, leave their way free to them."*


*Quran (**9:29**) - "Fight those who believe not in Allah nor the Last Day, nor hold that forbidden which hath been forbidden by Allah and His Messenger, nor acknowledge the religion of Truth, (even if they are) of the People of the Book, following they pay the Jizya with willing submission, and feel themselves subdued.*

*Quran (9:123) - "O you who believe! fight those of the unbelievers who are near to you and let them find in you hardness."*


*Quran (47:3-4) - "Those who disbelieve follow falsehood, while those who believe follow the truth from their Lord... So, when you meet (fighting Jihad in Allah's Cause), those who disbelieve smite at their necks till when you have killed and wounded many of them, then bind a bond firmly (on them, i.e. take them as captives)... If it had been Allah's Will, He Himself could certainly have punished them (without you). But (He lets you fight), in order to test you, some with others. But those who are killed in the Way of Allah, He will never let their deeds be lost." Holy war is to be pursued against those who reject Allah. The unbelievers are to be killed and wounded. Survivors are to be held captive for ransom. The only reason Allah doesn't do the dirty work himself is to to test the faithfulness of Muslims. Those who kill pass the
