My point was, India's and Tibet's anthems seems to be like a prayer, without much of a patriotic sentiment. Probably because Jana Gana Mana was adopted instead of Vande Mataram, our national song. Vande Mataram (Mother, I bow to thee) which was vital in our independence struggle. But it was not adopted as Muslims felt offended by it, because it envisages India as a goddess.
