Navi Mumbai human chain marks 150 years of Vande Mataram
Long ago, India was ruled by another country called Britain.
During that time, people sang a special song called 'Vande Mataram' to feel brave and united.
This song means 'I bow to you, Motherland.'
This year, the song turns 150 years old.
To celebrate, people in a city called Navi Mumbai are planning something very special.
On August 15, which is India's Independence Day, they will hold hands and form a long human chain.
They will also sing 'Vande Mataram' together.
The event will happen on a road called Palm Beach Road.
It will last from 10 o'clock in the morning until 11:30.
Everyone is invited to join and sing together to show love for their country.
Vande Mataram Pratishthan, Navi Mumbai, will organise a human chain and collective rendition of Vande Mataram on Palm Beach Road on August 15.
The event commemorates the 150th anniversary of the national song Vande Mataram.
The human chain will take place from 10 am to 11.30 am on Independence Day.
The event carries the theme 'One Nation, One Voice — Vande Mataram.'
Organisers said Vande Mataram inspired courage and unity during India's freedom struggle and invited citizens to join in large numbers.
