" Bharat Mata ki Jai : Janani Janmabhomischa Swargadapi Gariyasi "

    In the Ramayana , Bhagwan Shri Rama uttered the sanskrit sloka 
 "Janani Janmabhomischa Swargadapi Gariyasi( Mother and motherland are superior to Heaven)" while addressing his younger brother, Lakshmana after their victory over Ravana , the Rakshasa king of Lanka . Since the days of vedas and puranas we pray our country as mother goddess. She is an amalgam of all the goddesses of Indian culture and more significantly of goddess Durga . 
 As our mother she has been providing us with Anna and vastra and protecting her children from several dangers. 
Once Swami Vivekananda said, "Our sacred Motherland is a land of religion and philosophy - the birthplace of spiritual giants - the land of renunciation, where and where alone, from the most ancient to the most modern times, there has been the highest ideal of life open to man."

The image of Bhāratmātā formed with the Indian independence movement of the late 19th century. A play by Kiran Chandra Bannerjee, Bhārat Mātā , was first performed in 1873. Bankim Chandra Chatterji 's 1882 novel Anandamath introduced the hymn " Vande Mātaram ", which soon became the song of the emerging freedom movement in India.

Bipin Chandra Pal elaborated its meaning in idealizing and idealist terms, along with Hindu philosophical traditions and devotional practices. It represented an archaic spiritual essence, a transcedental idea of Universe as well as expressing Universal Hinduism and nationhood.

Abanindranath Tagore first portrayed Bhārat Mātā in a painting, a four-armed mother goddess wearing saffron colored robes, holding the vedas, sheaves of rice, a mala , and a white cloth. The image of Bharatmata was an icon to create nationalist feeling in Indians during the freedom struggle. Sister Nivedita , an admirer of the painting, opined that the picture was refined and imaginative, with Bharatmata standing on green earth and blue sky behind her; feet with four lotuses, four arms meaning divine power; white halo and sincere eyes; and gifts Shiksha-Diksha-Anna-Bastra of motherland to her children. 

The depiction of India as a Hindu goddess implies that it is not just the patriotic but also the religious duty of all Indians to participate in the nationalist struggle to defend the nation.
  The motto Bharat Mata ki Jai’ ("Victory for Mother India") is used by the Indian Army .
