Aug 15.. Indian Independance Day
Vande Mataram (My obeisance to Mother India!).. -> Indian National Song
So much of History behind these sweet lines?
Wow.. I used to think.. " Aug 15 was all about a day off from school.. chocolates and meeting people for a flag hosting" . Look at the way I specify the main event(flag hosting) at the end!!
Anyway.. dwelling deep into the history behind the beautiful lines..
It is generally believed that the concept of Vande Mataram came to Bankimchandra Chattopadhyay when he was still a government official under the British Raj. Around 1870, the British rulers of India had declared that singing of "God Save the Queen" (National Anthem of the U.K) would be mandatory.He wrote it in a spontaneous session using words from two languages he was expert in, Sanskrit and Bengali. However, the song was initially highly criticized for the difficulty in pronunciation of some of the words.The song first appeared in Bankimchandra Chattopadhyay's book Anandamatha (pronounced Anondomôţh in Bengali), published in 1882 amid fears of a ban by British Raj. However, the song itself was actually written in 1876. Jadunath Bhattacharya set the tune for this song just after it was written.
