Happy 65th Independence Day, India - and it's billion-plus folks. How things have changed in these six and a half decades... It is indeed interesting, that the attention in the world is once again shifting to this booming economy, and we have Google (with it's trademark doodle) paying tribute to this nation and it's well being on this important milestone. Just as in the era gone by, India may be becoming the center of attraction - what with a newer globalized planet. Indians sure would be proud of what's been achieved in these years, while at the same time hoping that the long-waging battle against corruption and terror be won soon.
Things have changed for all of us, no matter which demographic you may belong to. But, if there's one thing that hasn't - or, well, is different? - is the sound, the melody and the awe of our national anthem, Jana Gana Mana. We've all learnt this, and our children continue to adore this masterpiece. However, this week has seen a new development - the discovery of the "missing" stanzas of this beautiful compositon by Rabindra Nath Tagore.
Here's a look at the complete song, hitherto unknown, and like the previous masterpiece of 'Mile Sur', is performed by the legends of Indian music:
Jaya he, Jaya he, Jaya he!
