Speaking on the occasion, Rasamai Balkishan said that folk artists played a vital role in awakening the public for the independence movement. For the first time, Bankim Chandra Chatterjee had awakened the people by singing ‘Vande Mataram’.

Besides spreading the greatness of India across the world, vande mataram song helped the public to forget about the Jallianvala Bagh massacre. Getting inspiration from quit India movement, separate Telangana agitation was started.
