The debate over Vande Mataram has renewed questions about national symbols, their historical context and the balance between national unity and individual rights. The song’s first two stanzas have traditionally been used at national gatherings, following a 1937 Congress Working Committee resolution. When Jana Gana Mana was adopted as the National Anthem in 1950, then President Rajendra Prasad said Vande Mataram would be “honoured equally”. #VandeMataram #NationalSong #India
