T. M. Krishna on India, the national anthem, and democracy as debate

In conversation with literary critic Mandira Nayar, artist, activist and writer T.M Krishna speaks to The Tribune on his new book We, The People of India: Decoding A Nation’s Symbols. He discusses how they came to be adopted—a journey filled with debate, dissent and discussion—and how this less than smooth process represents the best of India. TMK does a deep dive into how the goosebumps and Jana Gana Mana national anthem was chosen, and how the inclusion of Sindh—a land that was lost is perhaps, the most important value word in the anthem—as a place where everyone is welcome. From public debates between Mahatma Gandhi, Tagore and Ambedkar, TMK talks passionately about how heated discussions were at the heart of the choice of every symbol. Leafing through the national archives, he discovers the passionate letters written to Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru when Satyameva Jayate was chosen to become a motto—asking him to tweak it. His book, is a passionate plea for citizens to get involved again, and a reminder that consensus is never easy. For it to be meaningful, it has to be hard. #TMKrishna #India #NationalAnthem #Democracy #Debate #FreedomOfExpression #IndianPolitics #Culture #Opinion #Discussion T. M.
