The remarkable journey of our national flag

SALUTE THE SYMBOL: First Indian flag was designed by Vir Savarkar and was hoisted in 1906. In the year 1931, August 31 was declared as India's national flag day.
The resolution to adopt a tricolour flag in 1931, clearly states that it bore no communal significance. Saffron stood for courage and sacrifice White for truth and peace. And Green for faith and chivalry.
It also carried a charkha in blue on the white band which was later replaced by Ashoka's Dharma chakra symbolizing dynamism and constant change. It echoed the words of Sarojini Naidu - "Under this flag there is no difference between a prince and a pauper, rich and poor, man and woman. I bid every Indian to rise and salute this flag."
