Translation in English
Thou art the ruler of the minds of all people,
Dispenser of India’s destiny.
Thy name rouses the hearts of Punjab, Sind,
Gujarat and Maratha,
Of the Dravida and Orissa and Bengal;
It echoes in the hills of the Vindhyas and Himalayas,
mingles in the music of Jamuna and Ganges and is
chanted by the waves of the Indian Ocean.
They pray for thy blessings and sing thy praise.
The saving of all people waits in thy hand,
Thou dispenser of India’s destiny.
Victory, victory, victory, Victory to thee.
Nice job, but do you know who is the ruler of India they are talking about in this song ?
Can you please tell each word’s meaning?
I think, the ruler who got praised is a britisher…….. jus c India’s national anthem is of praising a britisher… Hw crazy!!!!!!!!!!!!
The Ruler is the Most High, the Creator, Lord of heaven and earth…whatever name you know Him by……
The whole of the national anthem is a praise of the one whose pronoun “Thou …” starts the anthem. To understand the meaning of the anthem one should know who this “Thou” is. Until we know who is “thou”, the meaning of the anthem will not be clear. Can anyone please explain?
“Thou” here is King George V…the national anthem was written in his praise, to welcome him when he was coming to India…
I1m proud to sing vandhe matram than this meaningless song. After getting freedom stil we praise the british.. We need to change
