Let the inspiration of ‘Vande Mataram’ reach the next generations – HJS

Mr Sunil Ghanwat, the State coordinator of HJS stated in this context that ‘Vande Mataram’ written by Bankim Chandra Chattopadhyay in 1875 has been still lighting the flame of patriotism in the heart of every Indian even after 150 years. The inspiration created through this song should reach the future generations; and with this aim, HJS has been appealing to organise singing ‘Vande Mataram’ with all its verses in schools and colleges.
