Who composed the national song of India?
The song Vande-Mataram first appeared in Bankim Chandra Chatterjee’s Anandamath. Tagore composed the tune of the song and sang at the 12th session of the Indian National Congress in 1896. In 1904, the first gramophone record of the song in Tagore’s voice came in the market.
