- Meaning of INDIAN Flag -
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
<> The flag is a horizontal tricolour
of "deep saffron" at the top, white
in the middle & green at the
bottom. In the centre, there is a
navy blue wheel with twenty-four
spokes, known as the Ashoka
Chakra, taken from the Lion Capital
of Asoka erected atop Ashoka pillar
at Sarnath. The diameter of this
Chakra is three-fourths of the
height of the white strip. The ratio
of the width of the flag to its
length is 2:3.
<>The flag's saffron color
symbolizes courage and sacrifice,
white stands for peace and truth,
and green is for faith and chivalry,
and blue represents the color of
the sky and the ocean. The central
motif is a Chakra, or Buddhist
spinning wheel. The 24 spokes of
the wheel correspond with the 24
hours of the day, implying that
there is life in movement and
death in stagnation.
<> The design of the National Flag
of India was adopted by India's
constituent assembly on 22nd july,
1947. It's use and display are
regulated by a code.
