बंकिमचन्द चट्टोपाध्याय का उपन्यास आनन्दमठ

Bankimcand's novel Aanandmath

Anandamath is a Bengali fiction, written by Bankim Chandra Chatterjee and published in 1882. Set in the background of the Sannyasi Rebellion in the late 18th century, it is considered one of the most important novels in the history of Bengali and Indian literature. Its importance is heightened by the fact that it became synonymous with the struggle for Indian independence from the British Empire. The novel was banned by the British. The ban was lifted later by the Government of India after independence.
The national song of India, Vande Mataram, was first published in this novel.
