Answer 2

"Vande Mataram," during the Indian independence movement, is one of the most famous protest songs [against British rule]. In reaction, the British banned the book and declared it a crime to recite the song

Explanation:

• The Congress felt that the song, though was beautiful ( the first two stanza), the other stanzas went against the concept of "secularism"
• The Muslim League before partition when it was a part of the Indian National Congress argument was that Islam, a monotheist faith, forbids the apotheosis (animated/inanimated) of all deities except God, who is the ultimate creator,
• Although the first two stanzes started with an exceptional evocation of the glory of the motherland, the other two stanzas, there are references to the Hindu Goddess Durga, according to the leaders gathered, including the Nobel Prize-winner Rabindranath Tagore. Hence, Muhammad Ali Jinnah & the Muslim League rejected the song.
• In 1937, the Indian National Congress, concerned that the song could provoke "communal tensions", had decided to drop the last 3 stanzas, and  had announce that only the 1st 2 " non-controversial" stanzas were to be sung.
