It is a pity that the email announcing our national anthem as the best in the world declared by UNESCO appears to be just another email hoax.
while checking the integrity of the news by visiting the unesco site I found nothing of this sort.
There are different kind of chain mails that are used for different purposes by their originators by

* Luring the recipients towards good fortune
* Spreading the fear of doomed fate for the recipient for not forwarding them
* Lure of “free gadgets / gizmos” by forwarding them to multiple people
* Touching messages of love / fraternity / friendships etc
* Spicy scandals - political / religious in nature

So on and so forth ( kudos to the brilliant creativity of intelligent netizens to create a mass hysteria on the net)
It is wise to break the chain of the email as they are in most cases used to

* Collect thousands of email ids for mass marketing
* Spread viruses, worms or spywares which might sit in your computer and transmit your user ids / passwords to the originators, enabling them to sniff on your credit card details, your bank user ids and passwords etc.
* To spread rumours with different motives
* Or just simply with the intension to waste the band width of the network (which slows down a country’s / region’s network)

While this is a hoax, dun need to make a generalisation of the indians.
i find it very rude

Indians love to be "best" at everything so why not just brag that their anthem is the best in the world and then put down "UNESCO says" so people will think it's credible. It's just a hoax so stop circulating this rubbish.

No doubt that our anthem is the best in the world, but the truth is that this news is just a hoax.
