23. NATIONAL ANTHEM –NATIONAL SONG STATEMENT   RE:  NATIONAL ANTHEM    Mr. President  : There is one matter which has been pending for discussion, namely the question of the National Anthem. At one time it was thought that the matter might be brought up before the House and a decision taken by the House by way of a resolution. But it has been felt that, instead of taking a formal decision by means of a resolution, it is better if I make a statement with regard to the National Anthem. Accordingly I make this statement.      The composition consisting of the words and music known as Jana  Gana   Mana  is the National Anthem of India, subject to such alterations in the words as the Government may  authorise  as occasion arises; and the song  Vande   Mataram , which has played a historic part in the struggle for Indian freedom, shall be  honoured  equally with Jana  Gana   Mana  and shall have equal status with it. (Applause). I hope this will satisfy the Members.

R.  Iengar , the Returning Officer and the Secretary of the Constituent Assembly to make the announcement.        Shri  H. V.

25. CONSTITUTION OF INDIA IN HINDI   SIGNING OF THE HINDI TRANSLATION OF THE CONSTITUTION       Mr. President  : Now there are two things more which remain to be done. One is the authentication or rather the certification of the Hindi Translation of the Constitution.  Honourable  Members will recollect that this House  authorised  me by a resolution to get the Hindi translation prepared, and printed and published before the 26th of January. That has been done. The House also  authorised  me to get translations in other languages prepared, printed and published. That work has not yet been completed; it has been taken up.      I will ask  Shri   Ghanshyam  Singh Gupta to let me have the Hindi Translation so that I may formally place it before, the House and certify it.      (The  Honourable   Shri   Ghanshyam  Singh Gupta handed over to Mr. President copies of the Hindi Translation of the Constitution.

26. SIGNATURES ON CONSTITUTION SIGNING OF THE CONSTITUTION      Mr. President  : The only thing that now remains is the signing of the copy of the Constitution by the Members.
