About this listen
Why is the Indian Parliament fighting over a 150 year old song?
In today’s episode, I decode the explosive controversy surrounding the 150th anniversary of Vande Mataram. Prime Minister Modi has called the 1937 decision to "edit" the song a historic betrayal, while the Opposition defends it as a necessary compromise for unity.
But do you know what was actually cut?
I takes you back to 1937 to uncover the "missing stanzas", the verses that describe the Motherland as Goddess Durga and explains why they became the flashpoint for a battle between the Secular and the Sacred that continues to this day.
