UNESCO Chooses Indian National Anthem as Best In The World
World’s ‘best’ national anthem
The buzz on the Internet is that Jana Gana Mana, the Indian national anthem, has been declared as the world’s best national anthem by UNESCO. With the speed that these things travel, one email multiplies into thousands and then before you know it, rumour becomes fact. Although one of the sites clarifies that this is an unauthenticated piece of news doing the rounds, newspaper inboxes are flooded with ‘proud to be Indian’ emails. It’s evident that national pride is running high in these terror-struck times. And this has given ordinary citizens a thing to revel in. Obviously, they express great joy at India’s having the world’s best national anthem. The UNESCO site, however, is completely silent on the matter.
