All Indian students grow up singing the national anthem in school. Some sing it at the beginning of their classes, others during morning assemblies or on special occasions. Even those who don't get a chance to go to school, hear it on national and local media.
Yet, a huge percentage of Indians don't know the meaning of our national anthem. According to The Akanksha Foundation, 9 out of 10 people in our country fall in this category. India is, of course, a vast and diverse country of many regional languages and dialects so many citizens would likely not understand the words to Jana Gana Mana, written by Rabindranath in Sanskrit-Bengali, even as they sing.
No worries though, for a group of children have taken it upon themselves to give everyone a line-by-line explanation of the anthem. As long as you read English.
