Jana Gana Mana, the Indian anthem and Amar Sonar Bangla or My Golden Bengal, the Bangladesh anthem. Jana gana mana was selected as the Indian national anthem on 24 January, 1950 - two days before India was named a republic. Amar Shonar Bangla was written in 1905 when Lord George Curzon partitioned Bengal for the first time. The song was adopted as the Bangladeshi national anthem during the liberation war in 1971
