A *National Anthem* reflects the history and culture of the country.

The National Song does not have such constitutional privileges were honouring it is listed as a fundamental duty of a citizen of India.

The National Song of India is Vande Mataram which was written by Bankimchandra Chatterji. The National Anthem of India is Jana Gana Mana, composed by Rabindranath Tagore.
