He further asserted that 'divisive philosophy' is still a challenge before the country.

"The spirit of Vande Mataram illuminated the entire nation during the freedom struggle. But unfortunately, in 1937, the key verses of Vande Mataram, a part of its soul, were separated. This division of Vande Mataram also sowed the seeds of the nation's division. Why was this great mantra of nation-building treated with such injustice? This is important for today's generation to understand because that divisive thinking remains a challenge for the country even today," Modi said.
