by Bankimchandra Chatterji, was a source of inspiration to the people in their |
struggle for freedom. It has an equal status with Jana-gana-mana. On January |
24, 1950, the President, Dr. Rajendra Prasad came up with a statement in the |
Constituent Assembly, "the song Vande Mataram, which has played a historic |
part in the struggle for Indian freedom, shall be honoured equally with Jana |
Gana Mana and shall have equal status with it." The first political occasion |
when it was sung was the 1896 session of the Indian National Congress. The |
song was a part of Bankimchandra's most famous novel Anand Math (1882). More |

Sarnath Lion Capital of Ashoka. In the original, there are four lions, |
standing back to back, mounted on an abacus with a frieze carrying sculptures |
in high relief of an elephant, a galloping horse, a bull and a lion separated |
by intervening wheels over a bell-shaped lotus. Carved out of a single block |
of polished sandstone, the Capital is crowned by the Wheel of the Law (Dharma |
Chakra). More on State Emblem... National Bird The Indian peacock, Pavo |
cristatus , the National Bird of India, is a colourful, swan-sized bird, with |
a fan-shaped crest of feathers, a white patch under the eye and a long, |
slender neck. The male of the species is more colourful than the female, with |
a glistening blue breast and neck and a spectacular bronze-green tail of |
around 200 elongated feathers. The female is brownish, slightly smaller than |
the male and lacks the tail. The elaborate courtship dance of the male, |
fanning out the tail and preening its feathers is a gorgeous sight. More on |
National Bird... National Animal The magnificent tiger, Panthera tigris is a |
striped animal. It has a thick yellow coat of fur with dark stripes. The |
combination of grace, strength, agility and enormous power has earned the |
tiger its pride of place as the national animal of India. More on National |
