All I can do is pity you. You appear to be brain-washed by ancient
Hindu Mahasabha propaganda.

Firstly, they are both great songs
Secondly, Vande Mataram is a stirring call to violent action when
viewed in totality
Thirdly, Tagore (Rabindranath) wrote the musical score for Vande Mataram
Fourthly, the so-called tension between Rabindranath and Bankim was a
"trolling' device to boost their respect statures (and sales).
Fifthly, Jana Gana Mana is an even more violent and stirring hymn if
you only cared to read ALL 5 VERSES and not only the first 5 LINES
which you have grossly misunderstood and mistranslated.
To reiterate
"In 1911 the first verse of this hymn (with 2 subtle variations) was
sung publicly, and in the open, on the occasion of visit of King
George to India as a protest and reminder that though he may be the
temporary Emperor of India, there is a greater Lord which rules the
destiny of Bharat."
Also, Vande Mataram is about "Mother" India, whereas JanaGanaMana is
about "Father" God.
In passing I may mention, that whereas it is convenient for
UNPATRIOTIC IMPURE THOROUGHLY CORRUPT person like Anna Hazare, Arvind
Kejriwal etc to publicly flaunt their love for "Mother India" and her
symbols - Gandhi, Swami Vivekanand, they dont dare to display the true
symbols of INDEPENDENT PURE UNCORRUPT Bharat because they know the
inevitable consequences which will follow from the Father.
