Take a look.
The song ‘Vande Mataram’ holds a special place in the hearts of Indians, and performing the song by Austrian artists showcases a strong gesture from Austria.
The national song Vande Mataram, composed in Sanskrit by Bankimchandra Chatterji, was a source of inspiration to the people in their struggle for freedom.
PM Modi arrived in the Austrian capital Vienna on Tuesday, after visiting Russia. He is on a two-day visit to Austria, becoming the first-ever Indian Prime Minister in 41 years to visit the central European country.
‘India-Austria friendship will get even stronger’
PM Modi also met Austrian Chancellor Karl Nehammer and hugged him. The pictures of the two leaders meeting for the first time were shared by the Indian prime minister on X. The Austrian chancellor also clicked a selfie with PM Modi and shared it on his X, which went viral.
