[00:00:02]India's cabinet made insulting Vande Mataram a jail-able offense.

[00:00:06]But here's the weird part.

[00:00:08]Vande Mataram is not India's national anthem. Jana Gana Mana became the official anthem in 1950.

[00:00:14]Vande Mataram never did. For 75 years, no law protected it. The Supreme Court had already ruled that government guidelines around the song were purely advisory, no penalties, nothing.

[00:00:26]The May 5 amendment changed that.

[00:00:29]Placing Vande Mataram inside the same legal as the flag and the constitution.

[00:00:34]Two songs, one legal shield, zero national anthem status for one of them.
