Bande Mataram Vande Mataram : ‘Hymn to the Mother’, was composed by Bankim Chandra Chatterji in 1876 at Chinsurah (q.v.) as a hymn to his native Bengal. In 1882 he incorporated it in his novel Ananda Math. In 1905, it shot into popularity in the agitation against Bengal’s partition; & later India’s national hymn. S. Bhattacharya: M.M. Haraprasād Shāstri observed: ‘Whatever Bankim did had led to one goal. That goal is the worship of the motherland – to address the motherland as the mother – to love the motherland – to adore her. Nobody else in India has done this – it is his work. So he deserves our respect, he deserves our salutation, he is our Āchārya, he our rishi, he is the maker of our mantram & that mantram is Vande Mataram.” A.B. Purani: Disciple: Some people object to Vande Mataram as a national song… because it speaks of the Hindu goddess Durga & that is offensive to the Muslims. Sri Aurobindo: But it is not a religious song
It is a national song & the Durga spoken of is India as the Mother. Why shouldn’t Muslims accept it? It is an image used in poetry. If in the conception of Indian nationality the Hindu viewpoint cannot find a place then the Hindus may as well be asked to give up their culture; to comes to this that we all become Mohammedans. They don’t say it now they will say it later on, because they have begun to object to the worship of Hindu Gods in national institutions. Why shouldn’t the Hindu worship his Gods? Otherwise, the Hindus must either become Mohammedans or adopt the European culture, or become atheists. The Hindus don’t object to their “Allah ho Akbar”

With firm, quiet steps he climbed up on the gallows and said simply: “I am ready”, and then like a clap of thunder, he cried out Vande Mataram !

The movement against the partition of Bengal had, by mid-1906, spread out and boiled up so as to include much more than the opposition to the partition, and - by one of those unpredictable but amazing quirks of fate - had come to be symbolised by the magic incantation "Bande Mataram!", the opening... Manoranjan Guhathakurta, a stalwart of the nationalist movement - continued shouting Bande Mataram! while the police went on belabouring him even after he had fallen on the ground and was bleeding profusely.

The thrashing had been followed by cries of Bande Mataram from a "hundred lusty throats".

... 36 Bande Mataram Sri Aurobindo did not wield a gun. He wielded a pen. In August 1906, when the National College began its work, Bepin Pal "who had been long expounding a policy of self-help and non-cooperation in his weekly journal [New India], now started a daily with the name Bande Mataram," wrote Sri Aurobindo. On 6 August 1906 the declaration of Bande Mataram was filed... propaganda. In an inconceivably short time the Bande Mataram became the spearhead of the new party in Bengal. The Nationalist Party was at once successful and the Bande Mataram paper began to circulate throughout India. It came into being in a great and critical hour for the whole nation, and it had a message to deliver. Indeed, "the Bande Mataram was almost unique in journalistic history in the... of apathy and despair. But then came a sudden transformation. And the Bande Mataram played no mean part in it. "Anyone with an open mind," remarked a contemporary reader, "reading even a stray issue of the Bande Mataram was sure to be persuaded to its views and become a Nationalist." Wrote Lajpat Rai to the Bande Mataram on 4 May 1907, just five days before his deportation, "Let me assure ...

It claims that it has given expression to the will of the people and sketched their ideals... previous records in Indian journalism. The political ideal of the people has changed, the desire for freedom is a force to be reckoned with and if anybody has any doubt on the point, success of the Bande Mataram should set it at rest.

The literary ability with which the Bande Mataram states its views is rare in the "Anglo-native" Press but it is known that Bipin Pal has a rare literary ability, therefore it is unquestionably Bipin Pal and no other who really edits and writes in the Bande Mataram . There seems to be a flaw somewhere in the Thunderer's logic, and we do not think the... brain; it sees him gigantically reflected in every manifestation of Nationalism and is rapidly constructing him into a sinister Antichrist of British rule.

There are many conjectures about how the Bande Mataram was started, what Sri Aurobindo's connection with it was and how it ended.
