Replace the national anthem: Gopaldas 'Neeraj'
Renowned Hindi poet Gopaldas 'Neeraj' today said 'Vande Matram' or 'Jhanda Ooncha Rahe Humara' should replace 'Jana Gana Mana' as the national anthem as it is reminiscent of the British rule. The 92-year-old Padma Bhushan awardee also said it is due to the colonial hangover that some saw those working in English as "bade" and others as "chote".
