[ Ссылка ] presents: Indian National Flag Facts
India used to be made up of different princely states with their own flags. After the 1857 revolt, the British Raj introduced a flag to represent their greater Indian territories. This was a Union Jack with the Star of India in the centre and the Tudor crown above it.
The ban on flying an Indian flag led to the use of the Swaraj flag as a sign of protest in India during the freedom struggle. This was a tricolour rectangle with a charkha or a spinning wheel at its centre.
The Indian flag of independent India is similar to the swaraj flag. The saffron colour represents courage and sacrifice; white – truth and purity; green – peace and prosperity.
At the center is the Ashoka chakra- it represent the idea of law and dharma, as it does on the Ashoka pillar.
The chakra has 24 spokes to represent the 24 hours of progress within the day
There are strict guidelines on how we can use the Indian flag and there is only one licensed flag production and supply unit in India.
1. An Indian flag must be made of khadi cloth of silk or cotton, and each roll of cloth that eventually turns into a flag is sent to a lab to be tested for quality.
2. The flag must never touch the ground or water, or be used as a drapery in any form.
3. The flag may not be flown upside down.
4. Until 2001, private citizens were only allowed to hoist a flag on national holidays. This law was changed when a citizen filed suit against the court arguing that every Indian citizen had a right to fly their national flag.
5. No complete representation of the flag can appear below the waist on clothing, or on undergarments.
6. Damaged flags must be disposed of in private by burning or any other method consistent with the dignity of the flag.
