The national flag was adopted by the Constituent Assembly on 21 July 1947.
During the 19th century, India was under British rule and before the beginning of the Indian independence movement, various flags were used by the rulers of the independent states in India. It was only after the revolt of 1857 that the idea of a common Indian flag was proposed by the British. The first flag based on the British symbol, also called the Star of India, was a set of flags used by the British for various purposes during their rule in India.
By the 20th century, when Edward VII was appointed king, it was decided that a symbol was needed which was a symbol of the Indian Empire (as India was known). It was around this time that Indian nationalists thought that the flag needed a religious symbol. The most famous symbols of the time were those of Lord Ganesha, Goddess Kali or Ga Mata (holy cow). The signs were dismissed on the grounds that they were Hindu-centric, which would be difficult for Indian Muslims to relate to.
The first part of Bengal created a new Indian flag in 1905 aimed at uniting the people of India, whether they were part of caste, creed or creed, of which they were a part. Called the 'Fifth Flag', it is made up of Indian religious symbols, which have been described as Western propaganda. Launched during the Indigenous movement against the British, the flag had eight white bands (representing eight provinces), a sun and a green below, a crescent moon and a middle yellow band. The new flag was launched in Calcutta (now Kolkata) and had no newspaper coverage. The flag was used at the annual session of the Indian National Congress, although in the long run it failed to garner nationalist sentiments.
Another proposal for the national flag was made by Scottish Hindu reformist sister Nivedita. The flags were in the form of lightning powered by medium and 108 oil lamps running across the border, with the caption distributed across the border. The flag was unveiled at a meeting of the Indian National Congress in 1906. Many other proposals for the national flag followed, but no one paid any attention to the nationalist movement. In 1916, Anne Besant and Bal Gangadhar Tilak recommended another national flag, with a Union Jack in the top left corner, a star in the right corner and a crescent moon and seven stars diagonally from the bottom right with five backgrounds. Was kept. Red and four green alternating bands. The flag was banned by the Magistrates of Coimbatore, prompting a debate over the use and use of the national flag.
Until the 1920s, it was Mahatma Gandhi's wish that all Indian communities be represented on the Indian flag, representing a united country. With these sentiments in mind, a new flag was created. The flag is made up of three colors: white at the top, green at the center and red at the bottom. The Hindu and Sikh communities are represented as green. Was. Although the Congress did not accept the flag, it is widely known as a symbol of patriotism and India's struggle for independence.
Many people were not happy with the communal representation with the flag presented by Gandhi and so by 1931, another design for the national flag was put forward. This time the color red was replaced by gossip. This color seemed to belong to both Hindus and Christians, as saffron was the color of Hindu yogis as well as Muslim dervishes. But this led the Sikh community to demand a different color for their religion, or to reject religious colors altogether. He led a new flag designed by Pingali Venkaiah, an Indian freedom fighter. The new flag had three colors, saffron at the top, white in the middle and green at the bottom, in the middle of a spinning wheel. The flag was designed at a meeting of the Congress Committee in 1931 and was chosen as the official flag of the committee.
When India gained independence from the British in 1947, Dr. A committee headed by Rajendra Prasad decided to adopt the Congress flag as the national flag of India with some amendments. With this in mind, the flag of 1931 was adopted as the national flag of India, but in the middle the Charkha was replaced by the Ashoka Chakra. Thus, the Indian national flag was born
