June 27 marks the 176th Birth Anniversary of Bankim Chandra - TopicsExpress



          

June 27 marks the 176th Birth Anniversary of Bankim Chandra Chattopadhyay (1838-1894). He is recognised as the author of the novel Ananda Math and the composer of Vande Mataram that appears therein. The enduring popularity of Vande Mataram is a post-Bankim development. One owes it to the revolutionary movement in Bengal, occasioned by the partition of the province in 1905 by Lord Curzon. Vande Mataram captured the imagination of the nation. The revolutionaries and the Congress, otherwise diametrically opposed, were united in acknowledging it as the anthem of nationalism. niticentral/2013/06/27/bankim-chandra-chattopadhyay-the-sage-who-gave-us-the-vande-mataram-mantra-95934.html
