Shreya Ghoshal has finished the national anthem in 1 minute 7 seconds in the video.
The national anthem has become the subject of debate on social media. The controversy has started with the video of singer Shreya Ghoshal in which she is seen singing the national anthem, Gana, Mana…. The video was shared by a verified account named Veeru Yadav on the social media platform x, “Rabindranath Tagore, the national anthem of India, wrote. For the first time, his niece Sarla Devi Chaudharani sang. After that in 1911, many people gave their voice, but today Shreya Ghoshal was heard singing the national anthem and it seemed to give a new birth to the national anthem. Very beautiful voice.
Shreya Ghoshal has finished the national anthem in 1 minute 7 seconds in the video. X user Bhavika Kapoor has objected to this. He wrote in his post, a strict protocol is in force for the national anthem of India. The entire version should be finished within 52 seconds. Any attempt to slow down to show singing capacity is against unfair and prescribed guidelines. Both slowing down and accelerating are considered a violation of the protocol and can be considered disrespect.
The post wrote that in some opportunities, such as sports events, a small version of about 20 seconds is allowed. However, the change in the pace of the national anthem is strictly prohibited. This matter should be brought to the attention of the Home Minister.Now the question is what is the rule about the national anthem, what is the guideline for 20 seconds and 52 seconds, which version can be sung.

In how many seconds the national anthem should end?
The guideline has been fixed by the Ministry of Home Affairs regarding the national anthem. The rule says, there are two versions of it. First 52 second version. This is a complete form of the national anthem and it should take about 52 seconds to sing or play. However, whether this time may increase, or if someone will be punished if it takes longer, no mention has been mentioned in the guideline. At the same time, there is another short version which is finished in 20 seconds.
The 52 -second version is like this.
Jan Gan Man Adhinayak Jaya hey,
Bharat Bhagya Vidhata,
Punjab-Sindhu-Gujarat-Maratha,
Dravid Utkal-Bang,
Vindhya Himachal Yamuna Ganga,
Emperor wave,
Then auspicious debits wake up,
Then ask for auspicious blessings,
Gahe then Jai saga,
Jana-gana-mangalak jai ha,
Bharat Bhagya Vidhata,
Jai Hai, Jai Hai, Jai Hai
Jai Jai Jai Jai
This version is sung on certain occasions. As. On the occasion of civil and military honor ceremonies, during salute weapons, at the time of parade, formal state celebrations or other ceremonies organized by the government and at the Mess celebrations. Apart from this, just before and after the President’s message was broadcast from AIR, the Governor/Lieutenant Governor comes to formal state celebrations in his state/union territory, when the national flag is brought into a parade and it can be sung at the time of flag hoisting in the Navy.
What does the guideline say?
The guideline says, whenever the national anthem is sung or played, the audience should stand carefully, but when the national anthem is played as part of the film while watching the news or film, the audience is not expected to stand up because standing ups the film’s performance and causes disturbance. Like the national flag being hoisted, it has also been left to the discretion of the people not to play the national anthem arbitrarily.
When is the 20 second version sung?
The first and last lines of the national anthem are sung on certain occasions. A brief text of the national anthem will be played in the mess while drinking a drink in honor of someone.
This is the short version
Jan Gan Man Adhinayak Jaya hey
India-fortune creator.
Jai Hai, Jai Hai, Jai Hai
Jai Jai Jai Jai
This brief version should take about 20 seconds to sing or play.
