* During the British rule, it had become a habit to demean India and Indians: PM Modi
* It was during the British Rule, Bankim Chandra wrote these lines to shake the nation out of feelings of inferiority and to reveal the powerful form of Bharat: त्वं हि दुर्गा दशप्रहरणधारिणी, कमला कमलदलविहारिणी, वाणी विद्यादायिनी नमामि त्वां, नमामि कमलां अमलां अतुलं, सुजलां सुफलां मातरम्। वंदे मातरम्: PM Modi

* Vande Mataram stood firm like a rock. For the unity of Bengal, Vande Mataram became the resounding call echoing through every street: PM Modi
* Such was the power of Vande Mataram that the British were forced to impose a legal ban on it. There was punishment for singing it and punishment for printing it. Such harsh laws were created to suppress it: PM Modi

* We should all be proud that nowhere else in world history does a song exist that inspired citizens for centuries and moved them to sacrifice their lives: PM Modi
