It was known as Hindu Mataram Kingdom which had ruled this region from 8th to 10th century AD.

 The history and politics of Vande Mataram, The Milli Gazette, Vol.5 No.09, MG103 (1-15 May 04)
Both Hindus and Mussalmans carried Vande Mataram flags."3 It is interesting to know that while Vande Mataram was banned in Bengal, the British government allowed the Bengali Regiment to attack German trenches during the first world war with Vande Mataram on their lips.
Vande Mataram glorified idol worship, they argued, as it referred to only Hindu deities (it must be shocking for the present-day Hindutva brigade that the song does not even once refer to Ram), and that it expressed only a regional aspiration (it is partly in Bengali and allegorically talks of “Bengal” as India).
Another objection raised by Muslims and secular Indians said that Vande Mataram was part of the novel Anandmath, which glorified the annihilation of Muslims and not the British rule in India.

 Vande Mataram
The extraordinary specialty of Vande Mataram in terms of the potentials in the words speaks the story of its tremendous impact on patriotic minds.

 How secular is Vande Mataram?
"During the long and arduous struggle for freedom from 1905 to 1947 'Bande Mataram' was the rallying cry of the patriotic sons of India, and thousands of them succumbed to the lathi blow of the British police or mounted the scaffold with 'Bande Mataram' on their lips.
The use of the song 'Vande Mataram' in the novel is not adventitious, and it is not only communal-minded Muslims who resent it because of its context and content.
It seemed therefore that while 'Vande Mataram' should continue to be the national song par excellence in India, the national anthem tune should be that of 'Jana Gana Mana', the wording of 'Jana Gana Mana' to be suitably altered to fit in with the existing circumstances.

 A.R. Rahman : Vande Mataram - Listen, Review and Buy at ARTISTdirect
"Vande Mataram" became a Sanskit rallying cry for freedom in the early 1900s, as Indians protested against the partitioning of Bengal and its use as the title for the first international release by Ar Rahman, one of India's most popular contemporary recordings artists, is appropriate.
Vande Mataram was released to coincide with the fiftieth anniversary of India's independence from colonial Britain and it also was designed to introduce the western world, particularly the United States, the wonders of modern Indian music and culture.
Rahman is a clever, skilled composer and for this record, he blends Indian music with worldbeat, new age and light dance music, creating an accessible amalgam that nevertheless sounds exotic.

 Many Muslims may choose to sing Vande Mataram'   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
Muslims are equal citizens of the country and if a sectarian and narrow Hindu nationalist opinion seeks to inflict the singing of a sectarian song to an extent that democratic freedom is compromised, then not opposing it would do greater harm.
Both Muslim leaders, who have raked up the bogey of Islam being opposed to singing of Vande Mataram, and the Bharatiya Janata Party and its like-minded parties like the Shiv Sena, who are insisting that the singing of Vande Mataram signifies patriotism, are equally motivated by interests.
Second, if they are opposed to the singing of Vande Mataram -- the Constitution gives them the right to do so -- they should show their opposition in strictly secular and democratic terms and not in Hindu-Muslim terms.

It was an act of misuse of an Indian pen in accordance with the divide-and-rule policy of the British.
Hence, Chatterjee’s emission of venom against the Muslims in Anand Math and the Song Vande Mataram was not propelled by his love for India, but by Brahminism of which he was a part.
Therefore he had conceived Anand Math against the Muslims and coined the Vande Mataram song in order to misguide the gullible people in the name of Goddesses into the trap of Brahminism, which, besides serving his class interest, was designed to fetch British support against the class enemies of the Brahmins of his orientation.
