    • Thanks Jyoti for the comment…And regarding the chronology, what we mentioned does not contradict with NCERT. We just used BC/AD conventions. ‘12000 years ago’ is same as 10000 BC, considering the present time-frame as around 2000 AD.

    • National anthem is officially adopted by the countries but national song may or may not be so. However both are patriotic songs depicting the culture and pride of our country.

    • Nationalsong was composed by Bankim Chandra Chattopadhyay to invoke nationality and patriotism but National anthem composed by RNTagore is sung during unfurling of Tricolour.

    • The Indian National Song, ‘Vande Mataram’ was composed in Sanskrit by Bankimchandra Chatterji.

      “Jana Gana Mana” is the national anthem of the Republic of India. It was originally composed as Bharoto Bhagyo Bidhata in Bengali by polymath Rabindranath Tagore

  29. I recommend focus on engineering first! But during this time, focus on NCERT books as they are priceless and form base, develop the habit of reading news paper ( preferably Hindu, Editorial Analysis, Science magazines and Business or economic magazines and try to analyze good, bad and uses, develop art of making crisp notes). After B.tech, Prepare full time continue reading the above sources and practice the same plus add test series to your preparation along with answer writing practice. This will help you reach your goal.
