Jairam Ramesh defends Vande Mataram’s legacy, demands apology over political misinterpretations

New Delhi, Nov 7 (UNI) In a robust defense against recent political allegations, senior Congress leader Jairam Ramesh on Friday emphasized the deep historical and cultural importance of the national song Vande Mataram. He called for respect and an unconditional apology for what he described as a misrepresentation of its legacy.

Ramesh referenced key historical accounts, particularly from Sabyasachi Bhattacharya’s acclaimed 2003 biography of Vande Mataram- the iconic anthem written by Bankimchandra Chattopadhyay that was integral to India’s independence movement. Bhattacharya’s research highlights the October 29, 1937 resolution by the Congress Working Committee (CWC), which officially recognized Vande Mataram as a national symbol.
