THE NATIONAL FLAG
The flag of a nation is the symbol of a nation at all places whether it is an event, meeting or any
activity. Throughout the whole world different nations have distinct National flags. Our country
India also has a distinct national flag. If we give the description of our national flag, then it is a
horizontal tricolored flag comprising of India saffron ,white and India green, with the Ashoka
Chakra 24 spokes Wheel navy blue at its centre.
Saffron colour remains at the top, white portion is in the middle with the Ashoka Chakra
consisting of 24 spokes wheel and at the bottom remains the green portion of the flag. Different
portions of our national flag have many hidden meanings like Saffron colour in our flag
symbolises mental strength, which plays a vital role in everyone's life. White portion of the flag
depicts peace and truth. Green person stands for creative fertility and growth at our workplace.
Dharma Chakra consisting of 24 spokes have different meanings which plays an important role
for being a good human being and a patriotic citizen of our country.
If we go back to the adoption of our national flag, the flag which we used nowadays was
designed by Pingali venkayya a freedom fighter and follower of Mahatma Gandhi. Our Indian
tricolour national flag was adopted by the constituent assembly on 22nd of July 1947.
On the occasion of Independence Day, national flag is tied at the bottom and then pulled up by
the prime minister of our country and this activity takes place at the Red Fort. On the occasion
of Republic Day the flag is tied up on the top and it is unfurled without pulling it up. This activity
depicts that our country runs on our own principles rather than being a puppet. On the
occasion of Republic Day our national flag is unfurled at the Rajpath by the president of India.
