What does that have to do with Western churches backing NLFT? That is about the local church there which probably does have NLFT members in it. A mission means it comes from outside. That is your own tribes stiring up local trouble. That was 14 years ago... I got Maoist activity recently.
If it's so inconsequential why have you made so many replies? Save your unnecessary commentary to yourself.Why do you need a patriotic anthem or song to inspire any patriotic fervor ? Shouldn't it be present per deafult...
What if it sounds peaceful ? Are you going to wage war on your gora neighbor ? In that case, any IA regiment war-cry would be handy: Bol Jwala Ma Ki Ja, Raja Ram Chandra Ki Jai or the eternal Har Har Mahadev.
What an inconsequential thread, but very much in line with expectation from our resident troll.
You really don't have idea how are things in North east , these Christians get funds and weapons from Western missionaries .
Sorry, I don't have to depend upon RSS to get my feedback. Go ahead, accuse the BBC of being an RSS mouthpiece, for publishing a report on the same regard.
I wonder whether the Brits or the French or the Chinese or the Russians have to "google" their anthem to understand what it means and then memorize the translation in a desperate effort to induce goosebumps!
We Indians are a nation of diversity and of many languages. Deal with it!
I already told you, the national anthem is sung in regional languages as well. Just translate it and sing it in the language of your choice. Even after telling you about the regional languages, you keep mentioning the same stuff. This has nothing to do with the Sikh Regiment crying "Veera Madrassi." Not at all.It's a good thing at least the regimental battle cries are in languages that the jawans can understand. Imagine the Sikh Regiment being forced to cry, "Veera Madrassi, Adi Kollu , Adi Kollu"!! instead of "Jo Bole..." before leading a bayonet charge. What wonders it will do to their morale!

Compare India to "the Brits or the French or the Chinese or the Russians" when they have 20+ languages with 200+ dialects spoken in their country.
Wrong. As demonstrated above, 41% of Indians list Hindi as their "mother-tongue". Are you assuming that everyone else whose mother-tongue is not Hindi does not understand the language?
It was a very straight forward answer .
Insurgencies are there because of the funds and proxy war . Government has already started to regulate those funds be it foreign or internal ones and for this time is needed and be it BJP or Congress government , they will clamp down the problem .
Some member wrote about making a new anthem consist of all the languages including English thats why i wrote like that , you can scroll back and check .
National Anthem is not any issue , Singing few lines in Bengali is not any issue and i am pretty sure that majority of members here will sing poems in other languages including the foreign ones and even enjoy it and for them its hard to sing few lines of an Indian language .
Why cant Indians sing few lines in Bengali . is that very hard ?
So you consider National Anthem to be the miracle cure for all societal problems?
It is in Tatsama (highly Sanskritised) Bengali. I have explained in details a couple of posts above, read up!
Not a surprise, as nationalism and patriotism is at an all time low in India, for a plethora of reasons, poor education being one of them. BTW, are you an NRI or a PIO?
it is a pity you reacted so fast
having had a bit of time to reflect , i have changed my mind ( pls see my replies to member @Deccani )
I've never heard the anthem being sung in regional languages. Not in my school, nor in any other I know of in the state of Maharashtra. Maybe you had a different experience. Good for you.
I will make it more simple to understand and not so highly Sanskritized. Are any of those words used in spoken Hindi? Why should an anthem be so difficult to understand? It sounds like an entry in a literary competition. It's not just "Shuddh Hindi", it's "Shuddh Sanskrit-Bengali", which is gibberish to the man on the street. If educated people like us have a hard time understanding the words, imagine what the vast majority of Indians, some 600 million rural folk will think about it.
there was really no need for you to wipe out that post . the questions which you have asked some one else would even ask and asking questions and answering in our own way doesn't makes any one anti nation or enemy of the country . What matters is this that Indians are asking Indians .
Then translate it according to your satisfaction, and I am saying this for the third time.
If you want to make it simple to understand, then you will have to translate it into Hindustani, which is a mixture of Hindi and Urdu with a good amount of Persian vocabulary thrown in. Do it. I don't think anyone has a problem with that.
So you agree that all the words are indeed part of Hindi vocabulary.
Why should the Indian Penal Code and Constitution contain so many Latin words like sine die, suo motu, ad valorem, etc.? Because, both the National Anthem, the Penal Code, the Constitution are sacred documents. I bet when you get married, your priest will chant the mantras in Sanskrit. Make sure you present your arguments to him.
Yes, Latin and Sankrit (or Sanskritized version of any Indian language, with same exceptions) will sound like gibberish. Sadhu Bhaasha is not meant for the commoners, because, it is influenced by or is derived from Sanskrit, which is a synthetic and sacredly preserved language.
I literary circles, "educated" would mean a generous use of Latin in English, and Sanskrit in an Indian regional language. As I said earlier, translate it and sing it as per your convenience.
