New Delhi, Nov 1 (PTI) RSS general secretary Dattatreya Hosabale remembered Bankim Chandra Chattopadhyay, who penned 'Vande Mataram', on the 150th anniversary of the composition of the national song on Saturday and called on people to internalise its spirit as the "tendency to divide" is "increasing" in society.

The RSS second-in-command said 'Vande Mataram' is the song of the nation's soul and it has the power to create in society the feeling of dedication towards the nation due to its "divine influence" even after 150 years of its composition.

"Today, when the tendency to divide on the basis of narrow-mindedness, such as region, language and caste, etc, is increasing, 'Vande Mataram' is the thread that can unite society," he said in a statement in Hindi.
