		After the 1917 Bolshevik Revolution, the new anthem became the Socialist "Internationale," which was succeeded in 1944 — at Stalin’s request — by Alexandrov’s tune, with lyrics by Sergei Mikhalkov, which were later altered to remove the references to Stalin.

		The email accuses that the anthem is a symbol of slavery, clinically diagnosing every stanza and concluding that "Jana Gana Mana…" is a brazen glorification of the fiends who abused India, and "does not indicate any love for the Motherland."

		For example, they make us see the motherland like a beautiful thing in the national anthem, in the colors of the flag, and all those things stop meaning anything when the motherland isn't well.
		The motherland, for me, is in every corner, it's also in the miners, in the peasants, in the people's poverty, their nakedness, their malnutrition, in their pains and their joys.
		But in school they teach us to sing the national anthem, to parade, and they say that if we refuse to parade we aren't patriotic, and nevertheless, they never explain our poverty, our misery, our parents' situation, their great sacrifices and their low wages, why a few children have everything and many others have nothing.

		''Mutterland'' (motherland) means a mother country in contrast to its colonies; a calque on "metropolis".
		Use of the word "fatherland" (or rather, its cognates in languages like German and Russian--though Russia also has "motherland") certainly does not by itself imply that anyone using it is an ethnic nationalist or even slightly supports ethnic nationalist views.
		I merely thought it was interesting to note which nationalities see their homelands as masculine or feminine.

		To begin with, India's national anthem, Jana Gana Mana Adhinayaka, was written by Rabindranath Tagore in honour of King George V and the Queen of England when they visited India in 1919.
		One feels Rukmini Bhaya Nair should have given some more space to ‘the complicated background of this particular anthem,’ and put it in the perspective of Tagore’s philosophical framework whose operative principle was an attempt to touch the mystical and the sublime, where Destiny and Eternity move and play their roles.
		Every discussion involving a reference to our national anthem, short or long, should be conscious of this real danger and contribute, at least in one or two lines, to the effort to give the infamous charge its final burial.
