Indore (Madhya Pradesh): Celebrating 150 years of India’s national song Vande Mataram, noted historian Zafar Ansari from Indore will soon present a set of rare historic ‘Vande Mataram’ buttons to President Droupadi Murmu and Prime Minister Narendra Modi.

These unique buttons, featuring the charkha (spinning wheel) emblem, were once proudly worn by Indian revolutionaries on their jackets as a mark of patriotism during the freedom struggle.

The Zafar Ansari Museum of Indore houses an exceptional collection of objects linked to Vande Mataram, including more than 20 rare 78 RPM gramophone records of the song rendered in Bengali, Marathi, and Hindi by various artistes.

Among them is a 110-year-old recording, one of the oldest surviving versions of the song. Read Also Indore News: 45-Year
