Vande Mataram, India's national song, is now 150 years old. The song, composed by Bankim Chandra Chatterjee, was first published in the literary journal Bangadarshan on 7 November 1875.
Literally translating to “Mother, I Bow to Thee,” this composition has inspired countless generations of freedom fighters and nation builders.
