Fred, neither the soundcloud link here nor the one on the scroll.in website seem to work. In fact, when you click on the Jana Gana Mana link on that webpage, you get to listen to some Spanish-sounding song!Veena

Here it's instrumental version here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A8ZxRKcRJgw This has been mentioned in some reports, though the credit seems to have gone elsewhere. See for instance, one report here: http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/articleshow/55213561.cms [4] Even the much-heard (in India at least) Sare Jahan se Accha (also known as "*Tarānah-e-Hindi*", or the Anthem of the People of Hind) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sare_Jahan_se_Accha written by the famed Md. Iqbal during his nationalist days, was set as a marching tune by Antsher Lobo. While this is hardly remembered in the Goa of today, I've seen credits to A Lobo by the Navy band. As I said, this is about music... Please share any other links you might have. Thanks!
