Many if them wouldnt've known this was Janaganamana if u didn't mention

It's Republic day and when I heard Nigel Britto's beautiful classical guitar rendition of Jana Gana Mana (https://soundcloud.com/nigel-britto/jana-gana-mana), it struck me that @hariramnarayanan and me had done a minor key version of this song almost 4 years ago. 

Considering how touchy and armchair-patriotic many of us can be, I am loath to call this a "cover version" of the National Anthem. Just think of it as a minor key cover version of a major scale melody that happens to be used for our national anthem. 

The idea was that a minor key captured, with its natural sombreness, the less uplifting aspects of our country. 

Piano: Hari
Violin: Me

Jana Gana Minor

I take the ridiculous and the sublime, add cellos, violins, guitars and random internet collaborators to make music of sorts
