वन्दे मातरम् - Vande Mataram
Vande Mataram(Sanskrit: वन्दे मातरम् ) is a poem written by Bankim Chandra Chatterjee in the 1870s, which he included in his Bengali novel Anandamath. The poem was first sung by Rabindranath Tagore in the 1896 session of the Indian National Congress. The first two verses of the song were adopted as the national song of India in October 1937. An ode to the Motherland, it was written in Bengali script in the novel Anandmath.
It played a vital role in the Indian independence movement. It became a popular marching song for political activism and the Indian freedom movement. The song and the novel containing it were banned by the colonial government, but workers and the general public defied the ban(with many being imprisoned repeatedly for singing it in public); the ban was overturned by the Indian government after the country gained independence from colonial rule in 1947.
On 24 January 1950, the Constituent Assembly of India adopted "Vande Mataram" as the national song.
