<P> Moreover, Tagore was hailed as a patriot who wrote other songs too apart from "Jana Gana Mana" lionising the Indian independence movement . He renounced his knighthood in protest against the 1919 Jallianwala Bagh Massacre . The Knighthood (i.e. the title of' Sir') was conferred on him by the same King George V after receiving the Nobel Prize in Literature for "Gitanjali" from the government of Sweden . Two of Tagore's more politically charged compositions, "Chitto Jetha Bhayshunyo" ("Where the Mind is Without Fear", Gitanjali Poem #35) and "Ekla Chalo Re" ("If They Answer Not to Thy Call, Walk Alone"), gained mass appeal, with the latter favoured by Gandhi and Netaji . </P> <P> Another controversy is that only those provinces that were under British rule, i.e. Punjab, Sindh, Gujarat, Maratha, Dravid (South India), Odisha and Bengal, were mentioned . None of the princely states--Kashmir, Rajasthan, Hyderabad, Mysore or Kerala--or the states in Northeast India, which are now integral parts of India were mentioned . But opponents of this proposition claim that Tagore mentioned only the border states of India to include complete India . Whether the princely states would form a part of a liberated Indian republic was a matter of debate even till Indian Independence .' Dravida' includes the people from the south (though Dravida specifically means Tamil and even then, the same consideration is not given for the south since there are many distinct people whereas in the north each of the distinct people are named) and' Jolodhi' (Stanza 1) is Sanskrit for "seas and oceans". Even North - East which was under British rule or holy rivers apart from Ganges and Yamuna are not mentioned to keep the song in its rhythm . India has 29 states, 7 union territories . </P> <P> In 2005, there were calls to delete the word "Sindh" and substitute it with the word Kashmir . The argument was that Sindh was no longer a part of India, having become part of Pakistan as a result of the Partition of 1947 . Opponents of this proposal hold that the word "Sindh" refers to the Indus and to Sindhi culture, and that Sindhi people are an integral part of India's cultural fabric . The Supreme Court of India declined to change the national anthem and the wording remains unchanged . </P> <P> On 17 December 2013, MLA of Assam, Phani Bhushan Choudhury cited article of' The Times of India' published on 26 January 1950, stating that in the originally the word' Kamarup' was included in the song, but was later changed to' Sindhu' and claimed that Kamarup should be re-included . To this, the then minister Rockybul Hussain replied that the state government would initiate steps in this regard after response from the newspaper . The debate was further joined by the then minister Ardhendu Dey, mentioning' Sanchayita' (edited by Tagore himself) etc. where he said Kamrup was not mentioned . </P>
