-composed by Bankim Chandra Chatterjee' the original full version is the national song of India.
In original Bengali
বন্দে মাতরম্
সুজলাং সুফলাং মলয়জশীতলাম্
শস্যশ্যামলাং মাতরম্॥
শুভ্রজ্যোত্স্না পুলকিতযামিনীম্
পুল্লকুসুমিত দ্রুমদলশোভিনীম্
সুহাসিনীং সুমধুর ভাষিণীম্
সুখদাং বরদাং মাতরম্॥
কোটি কোটি কণ্ঠ কলকলনিনাদ করালে
কোটি কোটি ভুজৈর্ধৃতখরকরবালে
কে বলে মা তুমি অবলে
বহুবলধারিণীং নমামি তারিণীম্
রিপুদলবারিণীং মাতরম্॥

Translation
The following is a translation of the song by Sri Aurobindo:
Mother, I bow to thee!
Rich with thy hurrying streams,
bright with orchard gleams,
Cool with thy winds of delight,
Green fields waving Mother of might,
Mother free.
Glory of moonlight dreams,
Over thy branches and lordly streams,
Clad in thy blossoming trees,
Mother, giver of ease
Laughing low and sweet!
Mother I kiss thy feet,
Speaker sweet and low!
Mother, to thee I bow.-

It is a patriotic song. But India is very liberal and people are thinking about their selfish aim to divide the country & rule it over as British people did. Still we aer following the British rule for Indian Police, IAS and all govt. office.
There is nothing it simply shows that we are not educated.

Vande Matram is Hail Motherland personally I think there is nothing offensive about it, but some people think it degrades their religion.

Vande = Salute
matram = motherland
Some people salute to God only.
