He extended congratulations to the countrymen on the 150th anniversary of Vande Mataram. “Today, November 7, is a historic day.

PM Modi emphasised the deeper sentiment behind the song, noting, “The main emotion of ‘Vande Mataram’ is Bharat, Maa Bharati. India, as a nation, emerged as a gem that endured every blow of the past and, through cooperation, achieved immortality.” His address highlighted the resilience, unity, and enduring spirit of the country, underscoring how the song continues to inspire generations and evokes a sense of pride and patriotism among citizens.

“The main emotion of ‘Vande Mataram’ is Bharat, Maa Bharati… Bharat ek rashtra ke roop mein wo kundan ban kar ubhra jo ateet ki har chot sehta raha aur sehkar bhi amaratva ko prapt kar gaya. (India as a nation emerged as a gem that endured every blow of the past and through cooperation also achieved immortality),” PM Modi added.

PM Modi highlighted its profound significance, stating that the concept of India serves as the ideological force behind the song. He emphasised that Vande Mataram arises from the depths of the heart and the infinity of emotions, capturing a powerful sense of independent existence.

“The concept of India is the ideological force behind it… The sense of one’s independent existence… Only from the depths of the heart and the infinity of emotions does a composition like Vande Mataram emerge. In that period of slavery, Vande Mataram became the proclamation of this resolve. And that proclamation was of India’s independence. The chains of slavery would be broken by the hands of Mother India. And her children would become the makers of their own destiny,” PM Modi said.
