... Now the most puzzling question is, who was that higher authority or the dispenser of nation's destiny, the poet really intended to please?

Was it God or a King?

If the dispenser of nation's destiny was God in the poet's mind; then the poet must have been absolutely dumb not have grasped the fact that it was God, who dispensed the destiny of entire Bharat to be invaded by foreigners in the first place. It was God, who dispensed the destiny of hundreds of millions of people to be enslaved under the foreign rulers, making them utterly destitute for over a thousand years.

If the dispenser of nation's destiny was a King in the poet's mind, no contradiction arises and the entire song perfectly fits in with the special occasion for which the song was written and sung in the first place.

Then, how come the poet was compelled to write such a song, praising such a tyrant?

The answer is very simple.

The demands, conditions and situations of the time compelled the poet to write such a disguising song, which he did quite well.

If one studies the Total version of the Poem... he can find CATEGORICALLY ... and Undoubtedly...

.. that the Great Poet Dr Ravindranath Tagore... has clearly and specifically ATTRIBUTES the whole Poem ONLY AND ONLY to the British Emperor for Coronation... i.e. George VI

At that time...this point and sense towards the British Emperor, were never disputed by the Critics and Opposers even by the Bengalis (who ALWAYS regard Dr Tagore very highly). But only wondered. and PERPLEXED!

No doubt, in the sense of Bengali Language .. it is a Beautiful Poem of high classical sense... with Great Poetical Values

Even the Congress party has adopted only two stanzas... which are commonly ATTRIBUTIVE terminologies...

...applicable and meant for anybody in Power or Throne ruling over India... AT ANY TIME... PAST OR PRESENT.

But the then Congress party... DEEMED the Vidhaatha as the BHARATHA- MAATHA...

... the Ruler MOTHER INDIA..!!
