Indians honoured
UNESCO has selected The Indian National Anthem -- “Jana gana mana…” composed by great Bengali Poet Tagore as the best national anthem of the world. It may be mentioned here that the National Anthem of Bangladesh -- “Amar sonar Bangla…” is also composed by him.
The UNESCO award has not only brought a great honour for the Indians but also all the Bangla speaking people of the world.
While heartily congratulating the Indians, I would request the Indian government to attach more importance to the expansion and learning of the Bengali language. The Indian TV channels should also include Bengali songs in their musical competitions along with Hindi, Punjabi, Marathi, et cetera.
