Who said vande mataram

As long as the latter is the only reason, we Indians should not have a problem. He was referring to Rakhi Bandhan celebration of summoned by Rabindranath Tagore towards establishing brotherhood between the two communities of Hindu and Muslim against the Division of Bengal by Lord Curzon. And surprisingly the decision of dividing Bengal was taken in Assam in June , where the Muslims were convinced of the idea of a separate state to keep their identity.

After a pause of almost 25 years this issue cropped up again when in a municipal school in Bombay in , objections were raised on singing Vande Mataram followed by an article by historian A. G Noorani that reminded our Muslim friends of the bygone era not fully relevant as was propagated by the communal forces of Muslim League.

According to historian Sabyasachi Bhattacharya, When Bankim first wrote it in early , it was a beautiful hymn to the motherland, richly watered, richly fruited, dark with crops of the harvest, sweet of laughter, sweet of speech, the giver of bliss. But in , before Anadamath, this beautiful hymn was expanded with four more stanzas that as per him was a symbolism of religious sentiments.

These four stanzas, in spite of carrying Hindu religious sentiments, does not provoke anything anti-Islam. And thus Anandamath nor Vande Mataram was anti-Islam since the additional stanzas were added in the context of narrative demanded to describe that era. If someone goes back to s, the period described in Anandamath, he can observe that the plot revolves around the Fakir-Sanyasi rebellion against the Muslim Nawab who under the influence of the East India Company used to extract revenue from the villagers.

Bengal was in the midst of a severe agrarian crisis and a large segment of the population was starving. The Hindu sanyasis and Muslim fakirs led the uprising. The rebellion was put to an end by British troops, the Nawab was deposed and the East India Company took direct control over administration and revenue collection.

Every image made divine In our temples is but thine. Pure and perfect without peer, Mother, lend thine ear. Rich with thy hurrying streams, Bright with thy orchard gleams, Dark of hue, O candid-fair In thy soul, with jewelled hair And thy glorious smile divine, Loveliest of all earthly lands, Showering wealth from well-stored hands!

Mother, mother mine! Mother sweet, I bow to thee, Mother great and free! I bow to thee, Mother, richly-watered, richly-fruited, cool with the winds of the south, dark with the crops of the harvests, the Mother! Her nights rejoicing in the glory of the moonlight, her lands clothed beautifully with her trees in flowering bloom, sweet of laughter, sweet of speech, the Mother, giver of boons, giver of bliss! Terrible with the clamorous shout of seventy million throats, and the sharpness of swords raised in twice seventy million hands, who sayeth to thee, Mother, that thou art weak?

Holder of multitudinous strength, I bow to her who saves, to her who drives from her the armies of her foemen, the Mother! Thou art knowledge, thou art conduct, thou our heart, thou our soul, for thou art the life in our body.

In the arm thou art might, O Mother, in the heart, O Mother, thou art love and faith, it is thy image we raise in every temple. For thou art Durga holding her ten weapons of war, Kamala at play in the lotuses and Speech, the goddess, giver of all lore, to thee I bow!
