AI-generated practice question — model-generated for extra practice, not a previous-year CBSE board question.
Vande Mataram, composed by Bankim Chandra Chattopadhyay, became closely associated with the Indian nationalist movement and was widely sung during the Swadeshi movement in Bengal.
The source passages do not explicitly mention Vande Mataram, but this is a well-known CBSE textbook fact from the same chapter (Class 10 History, Chapter 2 — Nationalism in India). The song Vande Mataram was written by Bankim Chandra Chattopadhyay in his novel Anandamath and became the anthem of the Swadeshi movement in Bengal (1905). Examiners expect students to name the song and its composer for full marks.
