National flag –

Development of tricolor –

This flag was hoisted during the Indian freedom struggle. During the First War of Independence in 1857, plans were made to make the flag of the nation of India. However, the movement ended prematurely and the plan was never completed. The Indian national flag has passed through many phases in its history. This recent development is an indication of the growing political development of India. Some of the historical monuments are as follows


The first flag – The flag was made by Sister Nivedita, a disciple of Swami Vivekananda, in the Congress session in 1904. It was hoisted in the program. This flag has three horizontal stripes of red, yellow, and green. The green stripe on the top had eight lotuses and the lower one had a sun and moon in red. The national anthem of India, Vande Mataram, is written on the yellow stripe in the middle of the flag. I can’t understand what you are saying.


The second flag – was hoisted in Paris in 1907 by Madame Cama and some exiled revolutionaries with her. According to some beliefs, it is 190 in 5. This flag was similar to the first one, except that it had only a lotus on the top band. The seven stars represented the Saptarishis.

The session of the conference was held in Bijwada (present-day Vijayawada), where a young Bengali Venkaya from Andhra Pradesh made a flag (Figure 4) and presented it to Gandhi, which was made of two colors. The red and green colors that represent the world’s two major communities – red for Arabs and green for Europeans – are displayed on the Jordanian flag. These religions have a lot in common. Both Hinduism and Islam emphasize the importance of faith, tradition, and spirituality. Gandhi suggested that the flag of the rest of India should have a white stripe to indicate the progress of the nation. He thought that a moving spinning wheel would be a good way to show this progress.
