Notes

  • The Prevention of Insults to National Honour (Amendment) Act, 2026, provides statutory protection to the National Song equivalent to that accorded to the National Anthem.
  • The Act prescribes penalties including imprisonment and fines for intentional obstruction or disturbance during the rendition of the National Song.
  • The Constituent Assembly made a formal pronouncement regarding the status of Vande Mataram in 1950.
  • The National Song consists of six stanzas, though historical political resolutions have sometimes restricted its rendition to the first two stanzas.
  • The current discourse involves the intersection of historical political resolutions (such as the 1937 Congress resolution) and contemporary statutory frameworks governing national symbols.
