The above statement is true;
The visual representation of Indian identity with Bharat Mata only developed in the 20th century with the rise of nationalism. Bankim Chandra Chattopadhyay first came up with the idea for the picture. He wrote Vande Mataram as a patriotic anthem in the 1870s. Later, it was incorporated into his book Anandamath and was a popular song in Bengal during the Swadeshi movement. "Vande Mataram" was frequently sung in Bengal in 1905 during the Swadeshi Movement. The Swadeshi Movement inspired Abanindranath Tagore to paint the well-known portrait of Bharat Mata. The image of Bharat Mata swiftly took on a variety of visual representations, including calendars, lithographs, dhoti borders, matchbox labels, and cartoons.
