The song 'Amar Sonar Bangla' written during the Swadeshi Movement of India inspired the liberation struggle of Bangladesh and was adopted as the National Anthem of Bangladesh. Who wrote this song?

Correct Option (d):

Rabindranath Tagore wrote the song 'Amar Sonar Bangla' in 1905. It was composed during the Swadeshi Movement as a protest against the Partition of Bengal by Lord Curzon. The song served as a symbol of national unity and the cultural identity of Bengal.

During Bangladesh's War of Liberation in 1971, the song became a significant source of inspiration for freedom fighters and was subsequently adopted as the National Anthem of Bangladesh.

Rabindranath Tagore holds the unique distinction of having composed the national anthems for two countries: 'Jana Gana Mana' for India and 'Amar Sonar Bangla' for Bangladesh.
