Prime Minister Narendra Modi launched a special discussion in the Lok Sabha marking 150 years of India’s national song Vande Mataram. He hailed it as the “mantra of the freedom movement” that united Indians against British rule and urged the nation to draw inspiration from it for building a developed, self-reliant India by 2047. Modi also criticized historical compromises by the Congress leadership, calling them a “betrayal” that weakened national unity. Highlighting the song’s cultural, spiritual, and patriotic significance—from Bankim Chandra Chatterjee’s writing in 1875 to its role in the Partition of Bengal—Modi called for renewed collective purpose to honor the legacy of freedom fighters.
