Bankim Chandra Chattopadhyay, best known as the composer of Vande Mataram, was a distinguished Indian poet and writer. His writing covered a wide range of topics, including politics, philosophy, and history. Although he wrote with flair and clarity, modern audiences, particularly children, frequently find the language hefty and complex. Nonetheless, the core of his writing is contemporary and can be appreciated by both young and old audiences. As a result, his stories have been abridged and translated to communicate the message while remaining accessible, allowing his writing to reach a wider audience while retaining its original spirit.
