What is our national anthem??

The Sikh National Anthem - Dr. Harjinder Singh Dilgeer

Is it Deh Shiva Bar Mohe or Deg o Tegh o Fateh

Degh o tegh o fateh o nusrat bedirang

Zaafat az Nanak - Guru Gobind Singh

Raj karega Khalsa aaki rahe na koe

Khuar hoe sabh milenge bache sharn jo hoey

"that this national anthem had been sung in all the Sikh States until 1948. Bhai Kahan Singh Nabha, too, has mentioned it in his magnum opus Mahan Kosh (at page 1165 of the 1999 edition).

Now a question arises as to how did "deh shiva bar mohe..." came to be sung in some Sikh gatherings. I found that this had been sung in the congregations of the Rashtrya Swayam Sewak Sangh (R.S.S.) since 1950s. Some ignorant Sikh might have selected it because of its fine meanings. It is possible that it might be some associate of the R.S.S. who convinced some ignorant Sikh leader to accept it as an anthem.

The original Sikh national anthem "degh o tegh..." fulfils all the conditions of a national anthem as it refers to the Sikh polity, Sikh patriotism and even a manifesto of the nation. "
