TFP Bureau, <\/b>Raipur, November 7,2025: \u00a0A wave of patriotism swept across the country today as millions of citizens joined in the collective singing of Vande Mataram<\/em> to commemorate 150 years of India\u2019s national song \u2014 a creation that once ignited the flame of freedom and continues to echo through the nation\u2019s cultural and emotional consciousness.
\n<\/strong><\/p>\n

In Chhattisgarh, Chief Minister Vishnu Deo Sai led the state\u2019s observance of the historic occasion at the Mahanadi Bhawan Secretariat, where he joined senior officials and staff in a spirited group rendition of the anthem. The Chief Minister simultaneously participated in the national ceremony held in New Delhi through a live broadcast, during which Prime Minister Narendra Modi addressed the nation.<\/p>\n

Prime Minister Modi described Vande Mataram<\/em> as \u201ca stirring expression of devotion to Mother India,\u201d emphasizing that the anthem\u2019s power lies in its invocation of Bharat Mata<\/em> \u2014 symbolizing India\u2019s identity, resilience, and cultural continuity. He said that the song, which once emboldened revolutionaries and awakened national consciousness, continues to inspire generations with its timeless spirit.<\/p>\n

\u201cVande Mataram<\/em> was more than a song during the freedom struggle \u2014 it was the heartbeat of India\u2019s awakening,\u201d the Prime Minister said. \u201cIt carried within it the dreams of a free nation and gave courage to millions to rise against oppression.\u201d<\/p>\n

Chief Minister Vishnu Deo Sai echoed this sentiment, calling Vande Mataram<\/em> \u201ca symbol of boundless love, gratitude, and sacred duty toward the motherland.\u201d He said the nationwide collective singing marked a moment of unity that connected citizens with the soul of India. The Chief Minister also welcomed the release of a commemorative coin and postal stamp by the Prime Minister, calling it \u201ca precious memento of a historic milestone.\u201d<\/p>\n

Reflecting on the origins of the anthem, CM Sai recalled that Bankim Chandra Chattopadhyay composed Vande Mataram<\/em>on November 7, 1875, later immortalizing it in his novel Anandamath<\/em>. He said the song emerged as the defining force of the Swadeshi Movement and became the unifying cry against colonial rule. \u201cFrom Bengal to every corner of India, it echoed as the mantra of pride, self-respect, and cultural unity,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Describing the song as \u201cpoetry infused with the fragrance of India\u2019s soil,\u201d the Chief Minister said its message transcends generations. \u201cWhen one hears Vande Mataram<\/em>, the heart fills with strength. It reminds us that our motherland nourishes us with her land, her rivers, her culture, and her blessings,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

He invoked the timeless verse from the Ramayana<\/em> \u2014 Janani Janmabhoomishcha Swargadapi Gariyasi<\/em> \u2014 noting that India\u2019s unique civilizational ethos of venerating the motherland is embedded deeply in the song\u2019s spirit.<\/p>\n

The Chief Minister urged citizens, especially the youth, to take a solemn pledge to work for a Viksit Bharat<\/em> and a Viksit Chhattisgarh<\/em>, dedicating their efforts to Bharat Mata<\/em> and Chhattisgarh Mahatari<\/em>. He said the yearlong celebration of the 150th anniversary offers young generations an opportunity to reconnect with the struggles and sacrifices of the past.<\/p>\n

As part of the national ceremony, Prime Minister Modi launched the \u201cVande Bharat Portal\u201d (vandematram150.in), allowing citizens across India to record and upload their own renditions of Vande Mataram<\/em>. Officials described this as a step toward turning the celebration into a participatory, people-driven movement.<\/p>\n

In Raipur, Chief Minister Sai inaugurated a photo exhibition at the Secretariat, tracing the journey of Vande Mataram<\/em>from its creation to its place in India\u2019s freedom struggle. Calling it \u201can inspiring visual chronicle,\u201d he said the exhibition brings alive the values of courage, cultural unity, and national pride that the song represents.<\/p>\n

Among the dignitaries present were Member of Parliament Chintamani Maharaj, Chief Secretary Vikas Sheel, Principal Secretary to the Chief Minister Subodh Kumar Singh, Culture Secretary Dr. Rohit Yadav, and several senior officials and staff.<\/p>\n

As the final notes of Vande Mataram<\/em> echoed across states and districts, India revisited a song that shaped its destiny \u2014 a song that remains, even 150 years later, the voice of a nation\u2019s undying devotion and unity.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
