I gave up on this thread as soon as I created it. I think that Indians in general lack an ability to appreciate the arts, of which music is one form. National anthems have a very real purpose, and in the process of selecting one, the lyrics should match the vision and aspirations of the nation. Moreover, the music itself should be pleasing to the ear. I think one must create a thought experiment prior to selecting a new national anthem. The thought experiment has certain features:
1) The setting is the original position, that is the state just prior to the creation of the nation.
2) All of the characters have total freedom to chose whichever nation's citizenship they take up; there are no geographic constraints.
3) There are other nations who are also in the same origin position. One may choose an arbitrary number, but it's good enough to imagine that all the major (~100) nations are being conceived simultaneously.
4) The decision to join a nation rests solely upon a "listening session" of each new nation's selected national anthem. Assume no language barriers exist and although, the languages are different, the characters can understand all of the languages.
5) The goal is to get as many people as possible to join your nation, and since the only factor bearing on this is the quality of one's national anthem, it follows that the purpose is to create a national anthem that convinces the most number of people to voluntarily become citizens of your nation.
