Remembering Bankim Chandra Chattopadhyay, the man who gave us Vande Mataram

By Nishtha Gupta: Vande Mataram has been India's national song since 1937. Sung by generations of Indians to evoke the motherland, the song was written by Bengali writer Bankim Chandra Chattopadhyay. Bankim's lyrics were written in 1882 when nationalism itself was at a very nascent stage of development. He raised nationalism to the level of religion by identifying the Motherland with the Mother-Goddess. But Bankim Chandra Chattopadhyay was more than just the father of the Indian national song. He was a celebrated writer, poet and journalist. He's considered to be the father of the Bengali novel. Born in Naihati, Bengal on June 27, 1838, he went on to become a significant figure in India's struggle for independence. Bankim has left an indelible mark on modern nationalism and modern Hinduism. His belief was that there was "no serious hope of progress in India except in Hinduism-reformed, regenerated and purified". He was one of the first two graduates from the University of Calcutta and became a deputy magistrate and deputy collector in the government of British India at the age of 20, a post he held till he retired in 1891. It was this work under the Raj that made him deeply critical of India's colonial masters. When Ramakrishna Paramhansa, playing on the meaning of Bankim (bent a little), asked him what it was that had bent him. Bankim Chandra jokingly replied that it was the kick from the Englishman's shoe. Bankim got married at the age of 11 to a five-year-old girl. He w...

What’s Wrong With “Vande Mataram” ?

The root of the Sanskrit word Vande is Vand, which appears in Rigveda which means “to praise, celebrate, laud, salute respectfully” and the word “Mataram” has Indo-European roots in Matar- (Sanskrit), méter (Greek), mâter (Latin) which mean “mother”. “Vande Mataram”, originally pronounced as ‘Bande Mataram’ is a poem written in 1875 by Bankim Chandra Chatterjee that found a place in his novel “Anandamath” in 1882 with additional stanzas, means “I praise thee, Mother” or “I praise to thee, Mother”. So what’s wrong with it that Muslims find it anti-Islam? In literary meaning, it’s just two words praising our mother or motherland. Or is this “Anti Vande Mataram” drive just an act by Muslims towards the sentiment with which Anandamath was written or the Pro-Hindu sentiment depicted in the novel Anandamath where while praising “Santans” who used to live in a dense forest somewhere in Bengal and emerge time to time to make war against British and Muslims, Muslims were shown in low lights – and on top of that, when these santans were not only the children of Motherland but Goddess Kali? Most possibly, yes. Another school of thought is, a Muslim by uttering “Vande Mataram” is committing “Shirq” – sin of worshipping anyone or anything in addition to Allah. That may be the reason a Muslim never does “Namashkar” as it’s believed to be bowing to someone other than Allah and thus committing Shirq which is the biggest unpardonable crime in the religion of Islam. As long as the latter is...
