Flag of india

On July 22, 1947, when members of the Constituent Assembly of India met in the Constitution Hall in Delhi, the first item on the agenda was reportedly a motion by Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru, about adopting a national flag for free India. It was proposed that “the National Flag of India shall be horizontal tricolour of deep saffron (kesari), white and dark green in equal proportion.” The white band was to have a wheel in navy blue (the charkha being replaced by the chakra), which appears on the abacus of the Sarnath Lion Capital of Ashoka. While the finer nuances were subsequently discussed in the meeting, the final design of the Indian National Flag, hoisted by Prime Minister Nehru on August 16, 1947 at Red Fort, had a history of several decades preceding independence. While an Indian flag was reportedly designed by Sister Nivedita, an Irish disciple of Swami Vivekananda, between 1904-1906, arguably the first national flag of India is said to have been hoisted on August 7, 1906, in It comprised three horizontal strips of red, yellow and green, with Vande Mataram written in the middle.

She wrote nationalist literature and continued to support freedom fighters at home with finances. She attended the International Socialist Conference at Stuttgart, Germany, in 1907 and wanted to use the platform to highlight the Indians’ struggle for independence and, indeed, the struggle for a dignified life when millions were suffering from poverty, starvation and famine in the country.

The flag of India – called the Tiranga, meaning tricolor – has three horizontal bars of saffron, white and green, and is embossed in the middle with a blue wheel. It was adopted on July 24, 1947, in the wake of India’s independence from the British, and it is made only from khadi, domestically spun Indian cotton, as a symbol of nationalism and freedom. Those who wish to display the flag of India must adhere to a detailed flag code that mandates the upmost respect. Included in the code are requirements that say the flag cannot touch the ground, cannot be displayed upside down, should be hoisted at a brisk pace and lowered slowly and cannot be torn, damaged, burned or disrespected in any manner. Symbols The circular symbol in the center of the flag, the Ashoka chakra, is the wheel of the dharma, the cosmic law that upholds the order of the universe. At the crux of their faiths, Buddhism, Hinduism, Jainism and Sikhism all subscribe to the concept of the dharma. In this way the flag speaks to many, but not all, of the religious traditions that are present in India. In addition, the wheel represents motion as a reminder that India cannot oppose change, as forward progress is the key to national success in a quickly modernizing world.
