I have changed the Quality classification of this Article from STUB to B.
- [[User:Armanaziz|Arman Aziz]] 06:18, 20 March 2007 (UTC)
==Move==
The title of the article should have been "Amar Shonar Bangla". The actual Bangla pronounciation is "Shona", not "Sona". Therefore the title "Amar Shonar Bangla" was more appropriate, and "Amar Sonar Bangla" should redirect to "Amar Shonar Bangla" instead of the current status quo.

:: The Constitution of the [[People's Republic of Bangladesh]] (http://www1.umn.edu/humanrts/research/bangladesh-constitution.pdf) calls the song "Amar Sonar Bangla". Should we question our Constitution? [[User:Ratibgreat|Ratibgreat]] ([[User talk:Ratibgreat|talk]]) 10:17, 31 March 2011 (UTC)
This is definitely the most gorgeous national anthem I've ever heard. Thanks for the MIDI, it led me to seek out a symphonic recording. Just an aside. [[User:Tobiasaf|Tobiasaf]] 07:12, 29 October 2005 (UTC)▼
== Precious ==
I was wondering abt the statement that "Shonar" is suppossed to mean "precious". I personally think that the word is literal as well, deriving from Shonar Dhan (golden rice). This is not something I feel too strongly about, but the point is, why second guess [[Rabindranath]]?--[[User:Shmitra|ppm]] 03:15, 30 March 2006 (UTC)

== Please remove the subject about "bongobhongo". ==
Please remove the lines about "Bongobhongo".
It feels like we still want us to be a part of India, certainly we don't. Before people misinterprets the whole idea of the song, please remove that line about bongobhongo. We have fought for the independence, we want to remain independent.

Obviously, Bangladesh is an independent country and we respect your autonomy and sovereignty. But Amar Shonar Bangla was originally written by Gurudev Rabindranath Tagore to promote a sense of unity and brotherhood among Bengalis, in response to the Partition of Bengal in 1905; that's the truth and no one can change it. It was adopted as Bangladesh's national anthem when it gained independence in the 1970s, and the song is a beautiful one. It doesn't have any political inclinations, it is a song that simply defines the joy and beauty of Bengal; and one's devotion to Bengal. Even today, many Indian Bengalis feel proud to hear Amar Shonar Bangla. But it's also clearly Bangladesh's national anthem. It's nothing like we are trying to impose something, the history says it all. And that's why at least the main motive of the song, the motive for which it was originally written should remain at least in the history section of Amar Shonar Bangla's Wikipedia page.

== Rushdie's line ==
Salmon Rushdie: ''[[Midnight's Children]]'', p 355:
:The song was called 'Amar Sonar Bangla' ('Our Golden Bengal', author: R. Tagore) and ran, in part: 'During spring the fragrance of your mango-groves maddens my heart with delight.'
Ditto, p 356:
:[...] gathered in the trees and sang the words of 'Our Golden Bengal': '… O Mother, I am poor, but what little I have, I lay at thy feet. And it maddens my heart with delight.'
Did he make the second quote up or is it missing in this article? --[[User:Thrissel|Thrissel]] ([[User talk:Thrissel|talk]]) 21:25, 9 February 2011 (UTC)
No, he didn't make it up. Tagore's actual lyric is much longer; of its five stanzas, [[Bangladesh]] chose only the first two as its official national anthem. Its only the last stanza that includes the lines you refer to in page 356 of [[Midnight's Children]], so you can understand why its missing from this article.

== Specification ==
I have replaced the image in the infobox with the national flag of Bangladesh and removed the line about [[Jana_Gana_Mana|the national anthem of India]] to make it more specific about Bangladesh. --[[User:Kmzayeem|Kmzayeem]] ([[User talk:Kmzayeem|talk]]) 14:48, 6 July 2012 (UTC)

== Romanisation ==
I was looking through the romanisation in the article, and found it to be flawed. Is it an official romanisation of the Bangladeshi government or some other authority? If not, I believe it could be changed. The nasalisation and retroflex are not written and neither is the distinction of অ vs. ও. Please tell whether it can be changed or not. <!-- Template:Unsigned --><small class="autosigned">— Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[User:Stormmaashrooms|Stormmaashrooms]] ([[User talk:Stormmaashrooms#top|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/Stormmaashrooms|contribs]]) 22:49, 13 June 2018 (UTC)</small> <!--Autosigned by SineBot-->
