Originally written in Bengali, it is the first of five stanzas of a poem composed by Nobel laureate Rabindranath Tagore. First performed in 1911, Jana Gana Mana was officially adopted in its Hindi version by the Constituent Assembly as the Indian national anthem in January 24,1950. A formal rendition of the national anthem takes fifty two seconds. A shortened version consisting only the first and last lines (and taking about 20 seconds to play) is also staged occasionally. Translation into English Thou art the ruler of the minds of all people, dispenser of India's destiny. Thy name rouses the hearts of Punjab, Sindh, Gujarat, the Maratha country, in the Dravida country, Utkala (Orissa) and Bengal; It echoes in the hills of the Vindhyas and Himalayas, it mingles in the rhapsodies of the pure waters Jamuna and the Ganges. They chant only thy name, they seek only thy blessings, They sing only thy praise. The saving of all people waits in thy hand, thou dispenser of India's destiny. Victory, Victory, Victory, Victory to thee. India Bharat Janaa Ganaa Manaa
