Differences between National Anthem & National Song

A National Anthem reflects the history and culture of the country.

The National Song does not have such constitutional privileges were honouring it is listed as a fundamental duty of a citizen of India.

The National Song of India is Vande Mataram which was written by Bankimchandra Chatterji. The National Anthem of India is Jana Gana Mana, composed by Rabindranath Tagore.

Krishna and Sudama friendship

A long time after Krishna set himself as the king of Dwarka, a poor man came to his door asking for alms. He wanted to meet Krishna but when he saw the grandeur of the fort-city, he repressed his desire. The poor man was about to go away, when Krishna recognized him. He was Krishna’s childhood friend, Sudama.

Once, when they were young, Sudama had stolen Makkhan and had eaten it alone without sharing with his friends. Sudama was tall and his friends made him steal the pots kept on the higher places. He had done so because when they used to steal together in that manner, he often used to get the least share. Unfortunately, since that day, his family became poorer and poorer. By the time Sudama had reached Dwarka, he had nothing but thin clothes and not a morsel of food.

Seeing his friend and knowing his story, Krishna embraces Sudama and serves him well. Within a few days, Sudama looks better. Krishna then helps Sudama build a house within Dwarka so that he can meet his amigo frequently. Such a generous friend Krishna was!
