The Sense of Collective Belonging
People belonging to different communities,regions or language groups develop a sense of collective belonging:
In the 20thcentury the identity of India came to be visually associated with the image of Bharat Mata. The image was first created by Bankim Chandra Chattopadhyay. Abanindranath Tagore painted his famous image of Bharat Mata and portrayed it as an ascetic figure, calm, composed, divine and spiritual.
In the1870s Bankim Chandra Chattopadhyay wrote ‘Vande Mataram’as a hymn to the motherland. Later it was included in his novel Anandamath and widely sung during the Swadeshi movement in Bengal and other national movements.
