it has been said that the Morning Song Of India popularly known as Jana Gana Mana or the national anthem in use was a song composed in the honour of king george V and queen mary of england on their arrival at the reception in honour of both of them but the song itself reflects the blue print of the future undivided india post independence the lines "pujab sindh gujarat maratha dravida utkal banga gives aclear picture of the composition of undivided india of that time and also as it would remain as post independence the word BHARAT is used to denote our matrubhumi erroneously called india knowingly aware of it being a superimposition hiding the real name and identity of BHARAT I.E. INDIA: the words bharat bhagya vidhata are supposed to addressed to the king and the queen india at that moment was a suzerain not a soverign nation hence being in dominance under the british rule the immediate sovereign were the emperor and the empress and in absence of anational flag it was but natural to address the official flag of that time and the emperor and empress of england and the british empire as well out of revolutionary zeal adirect address to the matrubhumi and the display of the revolutionary flag of that time may have created a stir and disturbance ruining the entire ceremony of the imperial durbar but one thing is clear it may have given aboost to the national movement for freedom from british thraldom the poem cannot be callega eulogy or bardic composition in praisebut definitely it was agcapture of right moment and opportunity to present the blue print and give a strong decisive voice to the aspirations of every indian and his zeal and yearning for freedom from the foreign yoke the BHARAT BHAGYA BIDHATA were taken from another song composition of gurudev BHARATO BHAGYO BIDHATA WHICH BECAME THE FOUNDATION OF shubh sukh chain wich became the national anthem of the INA thus it maay be well understood that the words bharat bhagya bidhata may have been taken from the composition of the same composer and the notion of a direct address to the emperor and empress as the sovereign head of state and the empire as well is ruled out a saintly personage ,a institution in himself like gurudev who returned his knighthood as atoken of protest against the jalianwala bagh massacre bears testimony to the fact that gurudev was a revolutionary paths may have differed but the goal was the same freedom from foreign yoke a family of the eminence of thakur or tagore family of erstwhile revolutionary bengal the home of the sanyasi revolution which gave the theme of ANAND MATH of rishi bankim chandra chattopadhyaya from where we got our national song BANDE MATARAM a family which gave the first I.C.S. of india satyendra nath tagore,debendra nath tagore who gave the shanti niketan and vishwa bharati reviving the gurukul system of ancient traditional education in macaulayean india and a litterateur like gurudev rabindra nath tagore whogave us our national anthem,poet of geetanjali which gave him the nobel prize for literature being the first asian to receive it no one can have any doubt for their sacrifice,revolutionary spirit and patriotic zeal for freedom.
