Bande Mataram

Happy birthday Bharat Mata :D


Written in 1882 by Bankim Chandra Chatterjee as part of his magnum opus Anandamath, this poem later tuned was used as an inspirational clarion call by almost all freedom fighters in India. It was made India's national song in 1950, separate from the national anthem Jana Gana Mana. There is also some controversy about the song being overtly tilted towards Hindusim, which is not surprising since it is a Bengali composition that is dedicated to the homeland as a female diety and Durga (hence the Ma).

shujolang shufolang malayojoshitolang
shoshyoshyamolang mataram
shubro jyotsna pulokito jaminim
phullo kushumito dhrumodoloshobhinim
suhashining shumodhurobhashining
shukodang bordang mataram
