India’s national song, Vande Mataram, was written by Bankim Chandra Chattopadhyay on 7 November 1875 and later included in his novel Anandamath (1882). It became a rallying cry of the freedom struggle and was adopted as the national song on 24 January 1950. Its 150th anniversary fell on 7 November 2025, when the Government of India began a year-long celebration across the country.
