If that's really Rabindranath Tagore, why's he singing Jana Gana Mana with a Hindi accent? The original Bengali lyrics to the song were 'Jono gono mono odhinoeko joeyo he'.

As I had stated previously in one of the comments, it IS Tagore's audio, as per the audio released by Bharatbala productions' Jana Gana Mana album.

I have not much interest in literature, so I can't actively involve in a discussion with you. But I do know how great a literate Rabindranath Tagore was/is/ever will be & thats why I spread this audio, believing that it is Tagore's voice

& I am very happy to see numerous people being very happy on hearing it, thanks to India.

Also if you could prove that it is not Tagore's voice, it would be really enlightening and millions of Indians would actually be thankful to you for bringing this into light. :)

@harisachin I didn't say that this isn't Rabindranath Tagore's voice, I only pointed out that he's singing it with a Hindi accent. The original lyrics of Jana Gana Mana were in Sadhubhasha (Sanskritized) Bengali and sounded like 'Jono gono mono odhinoeko joeo he bharot bhaggo beedhata' (see the Wikipedia article on Jana Gana Mana). The pronunciation was later adapted to a Hindi accent when the song was made the national anthem. It could just as well be Tagore singing his own Hindi-ized version!

@thephilosopherkartik

hey I am not blaming you or anything of that sorts. But seriously the facts you laid down here might be an interesting topic for an active discussion!

Maybe Bharatbala productions can come out with how they got this audio and details of this recording (when, where...).

Though Bharatbala has a website I previously posted some query which is yet to be answered. So am skeptical about posting another query there!

RESPECT.....GURUDEV

@thephilosopherkartik to ur query.. he is singing in sanskrit.. not bangla..

[kdblr]

Nobel Laureate, philosopher, writer, poet, patriot and visionary Rabindranath Tagore would have been proud to see his India more vibrant than ever at 64.

JAI HIND

This definately isn't Gurudevs voice. Why do I say so? Listen to the song intendly. Focus on the accent. Not in one word, is there a touch of bengali! U can always distinctly tell a begali from the others, just within a minute of conversation.

@thephilosopherkartik you stupid

Vande Mataram... Vande Mataram...

Not Jana Gana bla bla bla!

@thephilosopherkartik Actually Tagore often pronounced the Sanskrit loan words (Tatsama) with "a" ending and not "o". Refer to other songs like "mama jaubananikunje gaahe pakhi" (not sung mamo joubano...); also in his own voice "andhajane deho alo" (not andhojone).

@Kumaraditya2210 You pretty much answered my question. Thank you!
