Jana Gana Mana | THAKARA | The Indian National Anthem

Just a memoir of the jam Thakara had on the 15th of August 2020, without our full quorum because of various pandemic restrictions. We enjoyed playing The Indian National Anthem ~ an amazing piece of art ~ lyrically, musically, historically. In Berlin, during the autumn of 1941, just a few months after his dramatic escape, Subhas Chandra Bose had recruited a team of enthusiastic Indians to launch a fresh fight against the British Empire. At the inaugural session of the the Free India Center on November 2 1941, the ‘Azad Hind’ team formally decided that Tagore’s ‘Jana Gana Mana’ will be the national anthem and ‘Jai Hind’ will be the national greeting. According to him ‘Jana Gana Mana’ which defined India as the union of all provinces, languages and religions was most suited for being a national anthem. Bose summoned B.L. Mukherjee, who worked at the Institute for Fashion Textile Researches in Berlin and was also a regular vocalist at the Berlin Official Radio, and Ambik Mazumdar, who was a doctorate in Music from the Quinsbeck University to prepare the notation and other musical details.
