National Anthem Misinterpreted.....Times Of India

A news in Times of India dated 18th August 2011.
"SINDH in the National Anthem may be a mistake" was the opinion of a division bench of Bombay High Court on a PIL demanding to change SINDH to SINDHU in the national anthem as Sindh is now a part of Pakistan.

For kind information of  the learned judges and the litigant and all those having doubts,
"Punjab, Sindh, Gujrat, Maratha, Dravid, Utkal Banga,
Vindhya, Himanchal, Yamuna, Ganga,"
are not the names of states. These are indicative of respective communities, speaking different languages (Which later formed the basis for reorganisation of states). These communities or people raise waves in the ocean.
"Uchchhal Jaladhi Taranga."
Sindhis are very much part of our national fabric and have been rightly honoured in the anthem.
