The National Anthem of India , ‘Jana Gana Mana ‘ was the first sung at the ____ Session of the Indian national congress.

Calcutta

The correct answer is Option (1) - Calcutta

The "Jana Gana Mana," composed by Rabindranath Tagore, was first sung at the Calcutta Session of the Indian National Congress on December 27, 1911. This session took place at the Calcutta (now Kolkata) in West Bengal. The song was performed to honor the visit of King George V and Queen Mary to India. It was later adopted as the national anthem of India in 1950 when India became a republic.

The composition of "Jana Gana Mana" marked a significant moment in India's struggle for independence, as it captured the spirit of unity and patriotism. Its lyrics, written in highly Sanskritized Bengali, pay homage to India's diverse cultural heritage and express a fervent desire for national unity and progress. Over time, "Jana Gana Mana" became deeply entrenched in the collective consciousness of Indians and was eventually chosen to be the national anthem of independent India.
