A piano rendition of the Indian national anthem, "Jana Gana Mana", has broken all records to become the most viewed national anthem with 72 million views on the video sharing website YouTube.  Curated and created by Mumbai-based pianist Shayan Italia and directed by Farhad Vijay Arora, the video was uploaded to the social video platform on July 29.

"On the first day of the upload, we received more than 5 million views and quickly realised that we now had a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to connect all of India with its most emotional chord the Jana Gana Mana," Italia said. One rendition of the French national anthem is the second most viewed national anthem with around 36 million views after the Indian national anthem.
