India plays full Vande Mataram at Red Fort celebrations

Authorities played the full six-stanza version of Vande Mataram at the Red Fort for the first time during the eightieth Independence Day celebrations. This performance coincides with the song's one hundred and fiftieth anniversary. Government protocol now requires the complete rendition of the song at designated official occasions following the passage of the Prevention of Insults to National Honour Amendment Act 2026.

Where the coverage splits

Creators split over whether the opposition of the Indian National Congress to the full version stems from appeasement politics and historical bias.

Does the Indian National Congress display anti-national sentiment and appeasement politics through its opposition to the full version of Vande Mataram?
