Bankimchandra Chatterji wrote “Vande Mataram” on Akshaya Navami, November 7, 1875. It was first published in his novel Anandamath through the literary journal Bangadarshan. The song portrays the Motherland as a symbol of strength, prosperity, and divinity. Over time, it became an emblem of India’s unity and freedom struggle. The song’s powerful verses inspired revolutionaries and freedom fighters across the nation.
Union Home Minister Amit Shah said on social media that “‘Vande Mataram’ is not just a collection of words but the voice of India’s soul.”
He added that during the British rule, the song united the nation, inspired revolutionaries, and strengthened the spirit of sacrifice. Shah urged people to sing the full version with their families to keep the song alive as a source of inspiration for future generations.
