Hot Spot 10 - National Athem

The Bangladeshi national anthem - Amar Shonar Bangla (My Golden Bengal) - was composed by the great Rabindranath Tagore, winner of the Nobel prize for literature in 1913./ It begins, ‘My Bengal of gold, I love you ,Forever your skies, your air set my heart in tune as if it were a flute, In Spring, Oh mother mine, the fragrance from your mango-groves makes me wild with joy- Ah, what a thrill!’
