Information About National song Vande Mataram

    Vande Mataram is a poem written by Bankim Chandra Chatterjee in 1870s. Later he included this in his Bengali novel Anandamath in 1882. It is also pronounced as Bande Mataram. 

    Vande Mataram means "I praise to motherland, mother."

    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. However the Constitution of India does not have any mention of "national song".
