Good Luck.
India and Pakistan are rivals many things. Perhaps their biggest rivalry is the game cricket. Over 300 million Indians and Pakistanis can watch an important game the two countries on television. They now have a new source competition – to break the world record the most people to sing a national anthem together. India was the world record holder earlier 2012, when 15,243 people gathered Maharashtra state to sing India’s anthem, 'Jan Gan Man'. Pakistan took the record October after 44,200 people sang the Pakistani anthem, Qaumī Tarana in Lahore. India tried to reclaim the record Sunday to 125,000 singers Kanpur's Green Park stadium.

The new world record is still not official. The team the Guinness World Records needs to study the event it awards India the title world record holder. One the organisers, Sumit Makhija, said so many people came to sing that he was worried safety. He told the BBC News agency: "We'd set a target 100,000 people to break Pakistan's world record. However, when 125,000 people gathered, we were forced to end the programme early…to avoid a stampede.” Rajesh Chandra, one the singers at the event, also spoke to the BBC to explain his pride being a record breaker. He said: "It was a proud moment me to participate, beat Pakistan, and set a world record".
