National Song:
Vande Mataram
Vande Mataram (also pronounced Bande Mataram) is a poem written in
Sanskrit by Bankim Chandra Chatterjee in 1870s, which he included in his
1882 Bengali novel Anandamath. The poem was first sung by Rabindranath
Tagore in the 1896 session of the Indian National Congress. The first two
verses of the song were adopted as the National Song of India in October
1937 by the Congress Working Committee prior to the end of colonial rule in
August 1947. On 24 January 1950, the Constituent Assembly of India has
adopted "Vande Mataram" as national song. On the occasion, the first
President of India, Rajendra Prasad stated that the song should be honoured
equally with the national anthem of India, "Jana Gana Mana". However the
Constitution of India does not have any mention of "national song".

Translation
I bow to thee, Mother,
richly-watered, richly-fruited,
cool with the winds of the south,
dark with the crops of the harvests,
The Mother! Her nights rejoicing in the glory of the moonlight,
her lands clothed beautifully with her trees in flowering bloom,
sweet of laughter, sweet of speech,
The Mother, giver of boons, giver of bliss.
K Rajaram IRS 91225 Why idiots always oppose anything and
everything? What is wrong with it? Republic TV on the night of 8 12 25
reported that Muslim League head in 1928 walked out of the assembly on
hearing this verse; so Muslim aversion started even in the British days, if
so why Nehru yielded to Jinnah? Vande matram was also abused by late K K
father of Stalin. He spoke on the Diaz “VANDHU EMATHAROM” MEANING VANDE
MATARAM MEANS THAT WE WILL ARRIVE TO CHEAT YOU. And people are voting such
patriots!
