Vande Mataram Lyrics
Vande Mataram is the national song of India, originally composed in Sanskrit by Bankim Chandra Chatterjee in the 1870s. It was later included in his 1882 Bengali novel, Anandamath. In October 1937, the Congress Working Committee officially adopted the first two verses of this iconic song as the National Song of India, which resonated deeply during the struggle for independence leading up to August 1947.
This powerful anthem played a crucial role in the Indian independence movement. It was first sung in a political space by Rabindranath Tagore during the 1896 session of the Indian National Congress. Over time, Vande Mataram turned into a rallying cry for political activism and gained popularity as a marching song during the freedom movement, especially around 1905. Renowned spiritual nationalist and philosopher Sri Aurobindo even referred to it as the “National Anthem of Bengal.”
