From ‘Vande Mataram' to ‘Saare Jahaan Se Achha', how songs inspired India's freedom movement

'Vande Mataram', also known as India's national song, was penned by Bankim Chandra Chatterjee in the 1880s. 'Saare Jahan se Accha', also known as 'Tarana-e-Hind', was composed by Allama Muhammad Iqbal. Let's take a closer look at these anthems that inspired India's freedom struggle The Indian national flag is a symbol of the country's freedom from 200 years of British oppression. Representational image India is set to celebrate its 79th Independence Day this year. Much has been written about the heroes, both men and women, of the Independence movement. But did you know that music also played a key part in the struggle to win India's freedom? It was with good reason that 'Vande Mataram' was sung before Jawaharlal Nehru's famed 'Tryst with Destiny' speech in August 1947. Let's take a closer look at how music and poetry inspired the freedom movement. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD 'Vande Mataram' Every Indian knows the song 'Vande Mataram' – also known as India's national song. Bankim Chandra Chatterjee penned this song using Sanskrit and Bengali words sometime in the 1880s. It was first published in his 1882 novel Anandamath, which was set during the events of Sannyasi rebellion. At the time, the British were trying to instil 'God Save our Queen' as the national anthem of British India – which naturally didn't go down well. It gained prominence after Rabindranath Tagore recited it at the Indian National Congress' convention in Calcutta in 1896. A stirring ode to the motherland, it goes thus. 'Vande Mataram! Sujalam, suphalam, malayaja shitalam, Shasyashyamalam, Mataram! Vande Mataram!' Bankim Chandra Chatterjee first published this song in his 1882 novel Anandamath, which was set during the events of Sannyasi rebellion. Aurobindo Ghose, a revolutionary leader, translated the novel into English sometime between 1909 and 1910. His version of the poem reads thus, 'Mother, I bow to thee! Rich with thy hurrying streams, Bright with thy orchard gleams, Cool with the winds of delight, Dark fields waving, Mother of might, Mother free!' The song became a rallying cry for many and a protest anthem against the British – who outlawed it. The song was adopted by the Constituent Assembly of India in 1950. It was Rajendra Prasad, India's first president, who gave it the status of India's national song in 1950. Prasad at the time said it had played a major role in India's freedom struggle and should be honoured on equal footing alongside 'Jana Gana Mana'. 'Saare Jahan se Achha' 'Saare Jahan se Accha' is a legendary song that stirred hearts across the land since its inception. Known also as 'Tarana-e-Hind' or Anthem of the People of Hindustan', this Urdu verse was composed by Allama Muhammad Iqbal. Iqbal, a poet, philosopher and politician, was born in in 1877 in Sialkot in undivided India. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD The song was originally published in 1904 in the weekly journal titled 'Ittehad'. Iqbal at the time was a lecturer in Lahore's Government Law College. Iqbal, when invited to give a speech by student Lala Har Dayal, instead sang this song. It was also published in the Urdu book 'Bang-i-Dara' in 1924. Allama Muhammad Iqbal, a poet, philosopher and politician, was born in in 1877 in Sialkot in undivided India. The song quickly caught on as a favourite of the Indian freedom movement. It was said to be particularly loved by Gandhiji, who sang it over 100 times when he was in Pune's Yerawada Jail in Pune during 1930s. Though Iqbal's legacy in India is controversial, the song itself remains immensely popular with people of all ages. 'Vishwa Tiranga Pyara' 'Vishwa Tiranga Pyara', also known as Jhanda Geet, was written by Shyamlal Gupta 'Parshad'. Gupta was born on September 9, 1896 in Kanpur's Narwal. Gupta was a nationalist, social worker and freedom fighter. He penned this song in March 1924 as an ode to the National Flag and the resolute determination of those fighting for independence . 'Vijayi ishwa tiranga pyara, jhanda ooncha rahe hamara' ('Victorious be our beloved tricolor in the world, may our flag always fly high). STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD It was publicly sung for the first time at an event organised by Nehru on April 12, 1924 – the fifth anniversary of the Jallianwala Bagh massacre. Shyamlal Gupta 'Parshad was a nationalist, social worker and freedom fighter. The Congress during a 1938 session adopted the song as its own. It was thus sung at every Congress event as part of its flag salutation ceremony. Gupta passed away in 1977 after receiving the Padma Shri – India's fourth highest honour. 'Sarfaroshi ki Tamanna' 'Sarfaroshi ki Tamanna' became a literal war cry for revolutionaries during the freedom movement. The song was written by Bismil Azimabadi, an Urdu poet from Bihar. Bismil was born Syed Shah Mohammad Hasan in 1901. It goes thus, 'Sarfaroshi ki tamanna ab hamaare dil mein hai, Dekhna hai zor kitna baazu-e-qaatil mein hai' (The desire for revolution is in our hearts, Let us see what strength there is in the arms of our executioner). It was composed in 1920 – a year after the Jalliawala Bagh massacre – and recited at the Congress' Calcutta session. It was published in the journal 'Saba' in Delhi in 1921. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD 'Sarfaroshi ki Tamanna' was written by Bismil Azimabadi, an Urdu poet from Bihar. However, it was Pandit Ram Prasad Bismil who popularised this song among the masses. Ironically, Pandit Bismil was himself a writer and bard. Pandit Bismil penned verses in both Urdu and Hindu under psuedonyms Ram, Agyat and Bismil. He also founded the Hindustan Republican Association (later the Hindustan Socialist Republican Association) to which Bhagat Singh and Chandrashekhar Azad belonged. Pandit Bismil recited this poem before he was hanged – which is why perhaps why the confusion about its authorship persists to this day. 'Kadham Kadham Badhaye Ja' 'Kadham Kadham Badhaye Ja' is associated with Subhas Chandra Bose and the Indian National Army (INA). It was penned by poet and lyricist Vanshidhar Shukla. Shukla, born in 1904 in Uttar Pradesh, was a Hindi and Avadhi poet and freedom fighter. It goes thus, 'Kadam kadam badaye ja. Khushi ke geeth gaaye ja Yeh zindagi he quam ke Tu quam pe lootaye ja' (March, March on forward, Singing songs of happiness as you go, This life belongs to our motherlan, Lay it down for the motherland). Bose, who favoured a more dynamic approach towards India's freedom over Gandhiji's non-violent means, formed the INA to overthrow the British in India. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD 'Kadham Kadham Badhaye Ja' is associated with Subhas Chandra Bose and the Indian National Army (INA). Wikimedia Commons Bose tasked Captain Ram Singh, who had been taken as a prisoner of war by the Japanese and had been trained in various instruments, to compose a marching song for the INA. Shukla is believed to have penned this song sometime around 1942. It was Singh who set these lyrics to music and made it the marching song of the INA. This song was banned as seditious by the British during World War II – which was lifted after Indian independence. It remains massively popular today and is continued to be played at Indian Army events.

Denzel Washington and A$AP Rocky had a rap battle. One is claiming victory

While the scene was scripted, much of what Washington freestyled — mixing in lines from Nas, Tupac, DMX and others — startled his professional rapper co-star. A$AP Rocky had no idea Denzel Washington was going to throw Nas at him. Midway through Spike Lee's 'Highest 2 Lowest,' a New York riff on Akira Kurosawa's 'High to Low,' wealthy music executive David King (Washington) has cornered aspiring rapper Yung Felon (Rocky) after he tried to kidnap King's son. They meet in a music studio. A rap battle ensues. While the scene was scripted, much of what Washington freestyled — mixing in lines from Nas, Tupac, DMX and others — startled his professional rapper co-star. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD 'I'm like: How does this man know who Moneybagg Yo is?' Rocky says, sitting alongside Washington. 'And I'm 70,' Washington says with a grin. 'Highest 2 Lowest,' which A24 releases in theaters Friday, two weeks before it lands on Apple TV+, is a heist thriller that hits hardest when Washington and Rocky are going at it. Washington, o ne of the mightiest of living actors, is, of course, an imposing presence. Even though Rocky might usually have the upper hand in the studio, he's just beginning to prove himself as an actor. 'Denzel is such a powerful force. Not a derogatory term, but he's a beast,' Lee said. 'Rocky is from Harlem, uptown. So I knew that he's not going to punk out. He's going to stand there, feet planted to the ground, as a heavyweight fight, blow to blow to blow. If you got somebody who don't got it, Denzel is going to slaughter them. SLAUGHTER.' But in 'Highest 2 Lowest,' Rocky proves that he can go toe-to-toe with a titan like Washington. In the annals of movie face-offs between the veteran and the up-and-comer, the scene is a riveting showdown. Not that Rocky is claiming victory. 'I had to go with the flow with him,' Rocky says. 'You've got to realize this guy's a pro. He's a wordsmith for real. It's not a joke. So when he went, I caught his drift. But I lost a rap battle to this man. And I'm a professional f—— rapper.' STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD With that Washington roars and slams the table. 'But I'm using other people's material,' he adds. 'And I've been practicing.' 'It doesn't matter,' replies Rocky. 'I lost, man. It's unfortunate that that's my profession in real life.' Washington's rapping skills But as he showed in a recent interview, Washington's envy for his co-star's day job is more than for show. Washington's hip-hop affection runs deep. Asked how he approached the big scene with Rocky, Washington takes out his phone and begins playing Nas' 'N.Y. State of Mind' and raps along: 'I keep some E&J, sittin' bent up in the stairway.' 'All right, would you ever in a million years expect the Denzel Washington to be able to recite classic quotes and lines from hip-hop?' exclaims Rocky. But Washington was just getting started. He grandly spat a verse of DMX ('Lucky that you breathing, but you dead from the waist down'), a few bars of Outkast ('Yes, we done come along way like them slim-ass cigarettes') and cackled joyfully at a line from Samara Cyn and Smino's 'Brand New Teeth': 'Spent my rent money on these brand-new teeth.' 'For me on the outside looking in, it was like this guy was Method acting,' Rocky says. 'He was just being himself. He should have been a rapper.' Washington shakes his head. 'No, I play one on TV.' STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD Yet Washington has as much facility with Wizkid as he does Shakespeare or August Wilson. Pushed to explain his mentality going into the scene, Washington still demurs. 'I can't, man. I don't have one,' he says. 'I just flow. I can't tell you what I'm going to do, because I don't know. I never know how it's going to go. I don't plan. But I have been practicing for a long time, and nobody knew! I never had the platform.' 'I'm still on top' In 'Highest 2 Lowest,' Lee — in his fifth film with Washington — surveys a changing entertainment industry. Washington's once supreme music executive is losing his grip on what sells — and what sells matters less than how many followers someone has. The movie weaves in some of Lee's other obsessions — the New York Yankees; New York, itself — but it casts the moral questions of Kurosawa's classic against a media landscape where authenticity can be hard to find. Asked if he identified with his character's quandary, Washington pauses to consider the question. 'If I had an ego, I'd say no, because I'm still on top,' says Washington. 'And I'm getting better.' Rocky, though, sees some of himself in Yung Felon. It's a moniker Rocky, himself, suggested replace the scripted name, MC Microphone Checka. Rocky, whose real name is Rakim Mayers, shot 'Highest 2 Lowest' in the run-up to his recent trial over a 2021 incident in which Rocky was accused of firing a gun at Terell Ephron, a former friend and collaborator known as A$AP Relli. Rocky was found not guilty in February on two felony counts of assault with a semiautomatic firearm. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD The verdict gave Rocky a new lease on life just as his film career might be taking off. He also co-stars in the upcoming 'If I Had Legs I'd Kick You,' a hit at Sundance. Meanwhile, he's preparing his long-awaited fourth album, 'Don't Be Dumb.' Who are 'the new rappers'? For Rocky, the music industry backdrop of 'Highest 2 Lowest' rings true. Music sales, he notes, are way down. Artificial intelligence is taking over. 'They've got to figure out how to regulate it,' Rocky says. 'People in music are already doing it. Not to put nobody on the spot, there are people with No. 1 records and it's not even them. It's not even their voice on the track.' 'This is a smart kid here,' says Washington. But Washington is resistant. 'People trying to sound like me don't sound like me, to me,' he says, doubting artificial intelligence's potential. He peppers Rocky with questions. Rocky, 36, already sounds like an old-timer. 'The kids, they don't want to be rappers anymore,' Rocky says. 'They don't want to be ballers. They want to be streamers. It's basically another word for 'YouTuber.' They all want to be YouTubers, I promise you.' STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD Washington: 'How will they make money doing that?' Rocky: 'They make all the money now.' Washington: 'From what? What do they do? Without the talent, without the thing to go see…' Rocky: 'What's the substance? That's what I'm saying is the big question. The performers are obsolete. Nobody's watching. Nobody cares. They'd rather watch an 18-year-old with millions of viewers open up a bag of chips and tell you how good it is. These guys are the new rappers.' But for now, at least in 'Highest 2 Lowest,' Rocky and Washington are still the performers. They're the rappers, even the two-time Oscar winner. Rocky, who grew up watching Washington in 'Malcolm X,' can hardly believe it. 'He gives you that confidence he walks around with,' Rocky says. 'A lot of times, people tell me that I embody this self-confidence — I see it all in him. Just him embracing me, them embracing me, it was so chill. I waited my whole life for this.' STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD 'Me too!' bellows Washington, with a laugh. 'And that's the truth! I've been a closet rapper for 40 years. Finally I get the chance.'
