Prime Minister Narendra Modi, speaking in the Lok Sabha, reflected on the 150th anniversary of the national song Vande Mataram. As reported by Indian News Today, Modi noted that when Vande Mataram completed 100 years, the Constitution faced restrictions and the country was under Emergency.
Modi recalled, “At 50 years, the country was under colonial rule, and at 100 years, it experienced Emergency.” He emphasized that the Vande Mataram mantra inspired and energized the nation during the freedom struggle. Even after the British partitioned Bengal in 1905, the song stood strong, promoting unity across India.
He added, “Millions recited Vande Mataram and fought for freedom. Today, honoring this sacred song in this House is a matter of great pride for all of us.”
Modi further said, “The mantra fueled India’s freedom movement, guiding people with courage and determination. Remembering it today is an honor for the entire nation.”
This milestone and its significance have been widely highlighted by Indian News Today, showcasing the enduring power of Vande Mataram in India’s journey to independence.
