Detailed Solution

Both Assertion and Reason are true, but Reason is not the correct explanation of Assertion. It was not until the 20th century, with the rise of nationalism, that Indian identity was closely associated with the image of Bharat Mata. The portrait of Bharat Mata received many variations, as it was distributed in famous texts and was painted by various artists. Devotion to this mother figure was seen as proof of a person's nationality, but this does not explain why she wrote "Vande Mataram." So both are true, but the Reason is not the correct explanation for this Assertion. Vande Mataram is a Bengali poem written by Bankim Chandra Chattopadhyay in the 1870s and composed by Rabindranath Tagore. It was included in the 1881 book Anandamath by BC Chattopadhyay. It became a famous march for the political and social movement of the Swade in 1905.
