RRB NTPC 2025 Under Graduate CBT 1 Question Paper PDF (20-Jun-2026) (Shift 3)
The correct answer is

Bankim Chandra Chattopadhyay

Anandamath is a Bengali novel written by Bankim Chandra Chattopadhyay, published in 1882, set against the backdrop of the Sannyasi Rebellion.

The novel contains the song Vande Mataram, which later became India's national song and a rallying cry during the freedom struggle.

Sarat Chandra Chattopadhyay, Rabindranath Tagore, and Dinabandhu Mitra were other notable Bengali writers but did not write Anandamath.

Hence, Bankim Chandra Chattopadhyay is the author of Anandamath.
