Indian Flag And Its History

By Margaret Sails


The Indus valley civilization saw its genesis in the holy land now known as India around 2500 BC. The people inhabiting the Indus River valley were thought to be Dravidians, whose descendants later migrated to the south of India. The deterioration of this civilization that developed a culture based on commerce and sustained by agricultural trade can be attributed to ecological changes.

The European presence in India dates to the sixteenth century, and it is in the very early part of the eighteenth century that the Mughal empire began to disintegrate, paving the way for regional states. In the contest for supremacy, the English emerged victors, their rule marked by the conquests at the battlefields of Plassey and Buxar. The Rebellion of 1857-58, which sought to restore Indian supremacy, was crushed; and with the subsequent crowning of Victoria as Empress of India, the incorporation of India into the empire was complete.

The national flag of free India was first adopted by the Constituent Assembly on 22 July 1947. The Indian National Flag symbolises national pride and is one of the most respectable national symbols. The late Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru called it "a flag not only of freedom for ourselves but a symbol of freedom to all people."

The National Flag of India embodies its human advancement and culture, legacy and freedom. The Indian national banner is a tricolor. It comprises of three bears Saffron at the top, white in the center dull and green at the base. Saffron is the image of self-centeredness. The white shading in the center stands for devotion, immaculateness, truth and straightforwardness. Green stands for youth and vitality. The Ashoka Chakra at the middle symbolizes the faction of Ashinsa and the endless exercises in the nation for its encouraging.

The Indian, everyone, honor their national banner and rally around it. It is typically flown on all Government structures, High Courts, Secretariats, and Collectorates and so on. On days of national significance, Independence, or Republic Day, the banner is seen rippling on each house-tops.

Every independent country has its even national flag. It is a priceless possession of the state that speaks its sovereignty. The state expects all citizens to keep the honour of its flag. The national flag of India reflects in every way the hopes and inspirations enshrined in our constitution.
