PM Modi highlighted its profound significance, stating that the concept of India serves as the ideological force behind the song. He emphasised that Vande Mataram arises from the depths of the heart and the infinity of emotions, capturing a powerful sense of independent existence.
“The concept of India is the ideological force behind it… The sense of one’s independent existence… Only from the depths of the heart and the infinity of emotions does a composition like Vande Mataram emerge. In that period of slavery, Vande Mataram became the proclamation of this resolve. And that proclamation was of India’s independence. The chains of slavery would be broken by the hands of Mother India. And her children would become the makers of their own destiny,” PM Modi said.
