Answer» Correct Answer - Option 3 : Rabindranath Tagore Translated the National Anthem from Bengali to English here. The correct answer is Option 3. In 1919, Rabindranath Tagore during his brief stay at Theosophical College, Madanapalle, a town in Chittoor, A.P., translated his Bengali poem/National Anthem ‘Jana GanaMana’ into English as ‘Morning Song of India’. Then a nondescript town, Madanapalle got a coveted place in history as Tagore chose to stay with Irish poet James H. Cousins, then principal of Besant Theosophical College. Till then, ‘Jana Gana Mana’ was just a lyric. It became a song after the principal’s wife Margaret Cousins gave it a tune. She had carefully studied the meaning of each line and composed the musical notes, which Tagore had happily approved. Before ‘Jana Gana Mana’ was declared the national anthem on January 24, 1950, two days before India became a republic, then Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru had asked musician Herbert Murrill to give his opinion on the tune.
