Rabindranath Tagore and Andhra Pradesh...

Well, I am sure you all know that I am from Andhra Pradesh..and I speak Telugu...
let me share with you all few facts which very few people know...
Rabindranath Tagore translated our National Anthem Jana Gana Mana from Bengali to English and also set it to music in Madanapalle town of Andhra Pradesh..located at Chittoor district of AP.
Tagore wrote down the English translation of the song and along with Margaret Cousins (an expert in European music and wife of Irish poet James Cousins), set down the notation at Madanapalle in Andhra Pradesh, which is followed only when the song is sung in the original slow rendition style of singing.
Now, may I know, did you know about this fact...?? ha ha
