Ahead of Independence Day, a retired professor has approached the Bombay High Court challenging the use of the word 'Sindh' in the National Anthem and has sought to replace it with the word 'Sindhu'.
According to the petitioner, Shreekanth Malushte, the word 'Sindh' in the anthem was replaced by the word 'Sindhu' in January 1950 by the government.
"However, the national anthem continues to be sung and broadcast in a wrong manner by using incorrect words," the petition states.
It further mentions that 'Sindh' is a part of Pakistan while 'Sindhu' river is in India.
