This special report features a lecture by Ramesh Chaturvedi on the enduring legacy of India’s national song, ‘Vande Mataram,’ and its origins in Bankim Chandra Chattopadhyay’s novel ‘Anandmath.’ The speaker quotes Gurudev Rameshwaranath Thakur’s observation that ‘Anand Matha of Bankim Chandra is not just an upanyasa. It is a dream of a selfless India.’ The discussion delves into the song’s pivotal role in the freedom struggle, tracing its journey from when Rabindranath Tagore first sang it at the 1896 Congress session to it becoming the defiant anthem of the Swadeshi movement during the 1905 Partition of Bengal. It highlights how the chant unified revolutionaries and became the collective voice of a nation aspiring for freedom, a status cemented when it was given equal honour to the national anthem in 1950.
