Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: D
Source: The song "Vande Mataram" was a Bengali poem written by Bankim Chandra Chatterjee in the 1870s and was first published as part of his Bengali novel Anandamath in 1882.
Historical Significance: The novel, set against the backdrop of the Sannyasi Rebellion in the late 18th century, used the song as a rallying cry for Indian freedom fighters during the independence movement, popularizing the idea of the motherland as a goddess (Bharat Mata).
Official Status: On January 24, 1950, the Constituent Assembly of India adopted the first two stanzas of "Vande Mataram" as the national song, granting it equal status with the national anthem, "Jana Gana Mana".
