The play, patriotism in nature, was presented at Bipin Chandra Pal Auditorium on 18 September. This mega venture of Navapalli coincides with “Azadi ka Amrit Mahotsav”, an initiative of the Government of India to celebrate and commemorate 75 years of Independence.
Vande Mataram was not merely a political slogan. It was a solemn oath of allegiance to the motherland. The slogan gave the nationalists the vision of the motherland as a goddess and gave birth to patriotism. And this worked miracles. It was a mantra of a new religion of patriotism given to the nation by Rishi Bankim Chandra.
