Vande Mataram was later declared to be India's National Song (not to be confused with the Indian National Anthem).He denied to oblige the British as the ruler of this country.He organised a section of soldiers and along with the rebellion leader Devi Choudhurani looted many ships packed up with goods of Rich merchants and of Englishmen in 1787. Their constant attacks devastated the British Rule in Mymensingh and Bagura. He could not be arrested even after issuing warrant of arrests and sending of infrantries.
