India's "Vande Mataram"
"Vande Mataram" is a famous song from the novel "Anandamath," written by the Bengali poet Bankim Chandra Chatterjee in 1882. It expresses deep devotion to the motherland, celebrating India's beauty and cultural heritage. The song became a rallying cry during the Indian independence movement, inspiring many to fight against British colonial rule.
In 1950, "Vande Mataram" was adopted as the national song of India. It holds a special place in the hearts of Indians and is often sung at national events and ceremonies. The song's powerful message of patriotism continues to resonate with people across the country.
