Which one of the following statements is not correct?

Result
Your answer: —  Â·  Correct: A
Explanation

The correct answer is Option 1 because the statement is factually incorrect. While Bankimchandra Chatterji composed Vande Mataram, it was written originally in a mix of Sanskrit and Bengali (primarily Sanskrit for the verses), not purely in Bengali. It first appeared in his 1882 novel Anandamath.

The other options are correct as per official records:

  • Option 2: The National Calendar (Saka Era) was adopted in 1957. Its first month is Chaitra, starting on March 22 (or March 21 in leap years).
  • Option 3: The Constituent Assembly adopted the tricolor as the National Flag on July 22, 1947.
  • Option 4: Jana-gana-mana was originally composed in Bengali by Rabindranath Tagore. The Constituent Assembly adopted its Hindi version as the National Anthem on January 24, 1950.

Since the question asks for the incorrect statement, Option 1 is the right choice.
