New Delhi, Nov. 7 -- Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Friday brought attention to a thoughtful article by union Home Minister Amit Shah commemorating the 150th anniversary of Vande Mataram, India's revered national song.
Shah's piece celebrates the song's powerful legacy as a beacon of India's freedom struggle and cultural pride.
Amit Shah reflects on how Vande Mataram, penned by Bankim Chandra Chattopadhyay during the oppressive colonial era, emerged as a dawn-song of awakening-fusing civilizational nationalism with a deep cultural identity. "Vande Mataram continues to inspire our vision of a confident, self-reliant, and resurgent Viksit Bharat 2047," Shah wrote.
