I too feel that there is absolutely no need to change since it can be interpreted in any way depending on the changed circumstances in our country... Kalyan Singh should concentrate on issues that really concern the country rather than go into such trivialities 

Why, what's itching Kalyan Singh of BJP ? This is the reward paid to the Noble Laureate who has forsaken his knighthood  as a protest against Btits?

Now we had a lot of nonsense from these raw headed, thick skulled politicians. Enough is enough.

This is long lasting demand and I remember Gulshan Ji also said in a thread that our National Anthem is nothing but praise of British Emperor so if a few words are changed there is no harm.

The BJP demands removal of "Adhinayak" from the national anthem. The word Adhinayak means, the big lord. It can be interpreted in the present scenario as the lord who controls the world. Then it was interpreted as George VI which is no mre relevant. Demand for removal of ADHINAYAK is not justified.

Why should we associate everything with BJP and there is no dictionary that says Adhinayak means Big Lord but it means Big Boss or Dictator. So what is the harm if the word which reminds us of slavery days is replaced by a more relevant word?

 First thingsfirst. The demand came from BJP. let me clarify, what if the meaning of Adhinayak means Boss ? Spiritually in Hinduism we call god as lord,like lord Jagannadh . If lord Jaganadh is wrong,yes, Adhinak is also wrong. Secondly why we talk about a matter which at present is unnecessary when there are other burning problems plaguing the country ?

अधिनायक clearly and literally means a dictator and there is no way the word is used for Lord Jagannath or any other Lord.

Thank you Kalyani for the clarification. What I wanted to impress upon you is why this issue brought now when there are other pressing problems like BJP's silence on Lalit Modi issue.

To be honest, if we consider the complicity of Lalit Modi issue, it is not very important at all. For starters, we need to raise and question issue of prominent congress leaders who allowed Anderson, the chief accused of Bhopal Gas Tragedy to escape the country overnight and never brought back. Anderson is now dead and nothing can be done about it, but the people who allowed it happen should be brought to justice. There is no relation between two cases but people who demand BJP's action against Lalit Modi should realise hypocrisy of their thoughts and understand that cricket is not greater than people's lives. So why are people who demand BJP break silence not speaking about more graver issues??

You said it, we used to call Lord to every British that came and ruled over us. We are no more slaves of British so we can safely remove Adhinayak (and yes, also Sindh as the state of Sindh has gone to Pakistan- not necessary though) Let's be a little more practical.
