| Additional information |
Vande Mataram was composed by Bankim Chandra Chatterjee and first published in his 1882 Bengali novel *Anandamath*, set against the backdrop of the Sannyasi Rebellion. It became a rallying cry during the Partition of Bengal in 1905 and was sung at the 1896 Indian National Congress session — making 2025 the 129th year since that moment, not the 150th. The 150-year count traces back to the composition itself, dated to approximately 1875, though Chatterjee's own chronology of the manuscript remains debated among scholars.
