National introspection

Vande Mataram: The national war cry By Ankush Khanna Zee News
The song, though popular in Bengal, was still not a national cry. It was in 1905, because of the partition of Bengal and other events, that the song crossed the frontiers of Bengal and became a national phenomenon. Since then, till the freedom was achieved in 1947, it remained on the lips of the freedom fighters and inspired millions to give their lives for the motherland. As Vande Mataram was originally written in a highly Sanskritised form of Bengali language not all could understand it. With the purpose to further popularise the song, Sri Aurbindo translated it in English. He also started an English daily ‘Bande Mataram’.
