Which of the following is the national song of India?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer A
The correct choice is: “Vande Mataram…”
“Vande Mataram”, written by Bankim Chandra Chattopadhyay and included in his novel Anandamath (1882), is India’s national song. On 24 January 1950 the Constituent Assembly declared that it would be honoured equally with the national anthem.
“Jana gana mana adhinayak…”, written by Rabindranath Tagore, is the national anthem, not the national song. “Sare jahan se achchha…” is Muhammad Iqbal’s patriotic poem Tarana-e-Hind, and “Ye mera chaman…” is a popular song; neither has official national status.
