Bill seeks to replace 'Sindh' with 'Northeast' in anthem
A Private Members' Resolution moved by Congress MP Ripun Bora in the Rajya Sabha seeks the replacement of the word 'Sindh' with 'Northeast India' in the National Anthem. Stating that Sindh is now part of Pakistan, Bora said it was unfortunate that northeastern states do not find mention in the Anthem. Poet Rabindranath Tagore composed the National Anthem before Partition.
