  RE:Check out Vande Matharam Original Sung by Lata

Jana Gana Mana was chosen as the National Anthem of independent India. Vande Mataram was rejected on the grounds that Muslims felt offended by its depiction of the nation as "Mother Durga"%u2014a Hindu goddess%u2014 thus equating the nation with the Hindu conception of shakti, divine feminine dynamic force; and by its origin as part of Anandamatha, a novel they felt had an anti-Muslim message.

So Congress decided to select jana gana mana as the national Anthem.
