Delete 'Sindh' in 'Jan Gan Man'?

Sanjeev Bhatnagar, a scientist and speed skating champion, who represented India in the Asian Games, made a plea to Supreme Court that "Sindh" be removed from out national anthem since Sindh is now a part of Pakistan and not India. wow:) I never thought about that.

Well, the Govt in response to the SC directions replied in the parliament that the word Sindh cant be removed as it just doesn't reflect the state of Sindh, but the Sindhi culture which is still a part of Indian culture.

A gud reply indeed:) Why do people even waste their time thinking abt these things and donot concentrate on real important things!

On the lighter side, a friend of mine suggested that we should not only keep Sindh in "Jan Man Gan" but we should also include other places also such as Baluchistan, Lahore ....:) Because ultimately, these places will one day become part of India:)
