jana gana mana () is the national anthem of india. it was originally composed as bharoto bhagyo bidhata in bengali by poet rabindranath tagore. the first stanza of the song bharoto bhagyo bidhata was adopted by the constituent assembly of india as the national anthem on 24 january 1950. a formal rendition of the national anthem takes approximately fifty-two seconds. a shortened version consisting of the first and last lines (and taking about 20 seconds to play) is also staged occasionally. it was first publicly sung on 27 december 1911 at the calcutta (now kolkata) session of the indian national congress.

tradition has established "hen wlad fy nhadau" as an unofficial welsh anthem since 1905, when it was first sung by fans at rugby games, although the official anthem at the time was "god bless the prince of wales". "hen wlad fy nhadau" slowly established itself as the more popular anthem over the next four decades, and was sung along with "god bless the prince of wales" and "god save the queen" before sporting events until 1975, when sports officials decided that "hen wlad fy nhadau" should be sung alone. like other british anthems, it has not been established as a national anthem by law, but it has been used as a national anthem at official governmental ceremonies, including the opening of the welsh assembly, and at receptions of the british monarchy since the 1970s. it is recognised and used as an anthem at both national and local events in wales.
