The original Bengali composition of the song was titled 'Bharoto Bhagya Bidhata' by Nobel laureate Rabindranath Tagore.

The entire song has five verses and was originally written in Bengali. Margaret, former president of the Besant Theosophical College and wife of the poet James H. Cousins, created the musical notation for the English translation of our national anthem.

In December 1911, at the Calcutta meeting of the Indian National Congress, the National Anthem of India was sung for the first time.

During a meeting of the German-Indian Society on September 11, 1942, Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose referred to it as the "national anthem" for the first time. But it was formally adopted as the national anthem in 1950.

There is also a Hindi-Urdu translation titled "Subh Sukh Chain" by Captain Abid Hasan Safrani.
