The song Jana-gana-mana, composed originally in Bengali by Rabindranath Tagore, was adopted in its Hindi version by the Constituent Assembly as the National Anthem of India on January 24, 1950. It was first sung on December 27, 1911 at the Calcutta session of the Indian National Congress.

THE master composer of the National Anthem is no more but his tune continues to infuse a spirit of patriotism among millions of our countrymen. This is the story of Capt Ram Singh who hailed from Khaniara, a small village near Dharamsala in Himachal Pradesh. He passed away at Lucknow recently at the ripe age of 87. It was probably after his death that most people came to know about the rare and rich contribution he made as a band master of the INA.
I had an opportunity to meet and interact with Capt Ram Singh about three years ago when he visited his native village and stayed at Dharamsala for about a month.
Even at an age of 84, Capt Ram Singh looked quite hale and hearty and full of enthusiasm. A humble, soft-spoken and unassuming personality he sang with a gusto the songs he had composed as music director of the INA orchestra. "Kadam se kadam Badaye Ja, Khushi Ke Geet Gaye Ja, Ye Zindgi Hai Qaum Kee, Ise Qaum Pe Lutaye Ja" was one of his superhit musical melodies. His songs were a great source of inspiration for the INA soldiers who were fighting hard to liberate India from the British yoke. But Capt Ram Singh would be remembered for his composition of Jana Gana Mana, the original script of which was a little different. It was Sukh Chain Kee Barkha Barse, Bharat Bagiya Hai Jaga. The song was based on a poem by Rabindranath Tagore and was translated into Hindi by Abid Ali. The present National Anthem was composed by Capt Ram Singh as Qaumi Tarana of the INA at Singapore in 1943.
