A Century and a Half Later, ‘Vande Mataram’ Still Echoes with National Pride: Amit Shah

 It has been 150 years since "Vande Mataram" was written, but even today its words continue to stir the hearts of Indians. Recently, Home Minister Amit Shah said, "Vande Mataram" is not just a song but an eternal symbol of national pride and unity. His words remind us that even after a century and half, this patriotic song keep too strong to be an ever.

 


The song "Vande Mataram" was written by Bankim Chandra Chattopadhyay in the 1870s and means "I bow to thee, Mother." First appearing in his novel Ananda math, it quickly became a rallying cry for the freedom movement of India. The song portrayed the love, respect, and devotion of Indians for their motherland and invoked thousands of Rebels for freedom to rise against British rule.

 

“Vande Mataram” was sung at rallies, protests, and meetings during the struggle for independence. It was more than words; it became a voice of rebellion and courage. Leaders like Mahatma Gandhi, Rabindranath Tagore, and Subhas Chandra Bose saw in it a reflection of India’s soul. When people shouted “Vande Mataram,” it was not just a slogan—it was an emotion, a promise to fight for the motherland’s freedom.

 


Speaking at the 150th anniversary celebration of the song, Amit Shah said that “Vande Mataram” While generations have changed, he said, the feeling that underlies the song keep eternal. For modern India's youth, it's a reminder of how the country came together to fight oppression and achieve freedom through unity and sacrifice.

 

“Vande Mataram” is not only a part of history but moreover interwoven into our culture and identity. The first There were two parts that adopted to be the National Song of India in 1950, which showed its roots to the very core of our country. Even today, when we hear it, it gives us goosebumps and improves us with pride for our country.

 

In today's world, when technology and globalization have become more predominating in our lives, the need to remember such unifying factors has become all the more prominent. "Vande Mataram" reminds us of who we are and how far we've come. It teaches us that love for the country is not about empty words but about contributing to its progress and keeping its values alive.

 


As Amit Shah has rightly said, the message of “Vande Mataram” is really timeless—it speaks volumes of love, respect, and dedication pertaining to our country. Even after 150 years, it still reverberates in every Indian heart to remind us that our strength lies in unity and our pride in being Indian. Vande Mataram then, now, and forever keeps the heartbeat of India.
