Independence Day 2022: History of Indian flag and significance of its tricolour

Hindustan Times  

Indians across the nation will be commemorating India’s independence from British rule by celebrating its 76th Independence Day on August 15, 2022, which will mark grand performances by the military bands, citizens across the country singing and dancing on patriotic songs, hoisting the tricolour flag and enthusiastically reciting poems remembering the sacrifices of India’s freedom fighters. It is no doubt a kind of idolatry which would be a sin to destroy.” Today, the tricolour or tiranga, as the national flag of India is popularly called, is hoisted at the Red Fort in New Delhi on every Independence Day and many believe that the saffron, green and white on our flag is divided on the basis of religions, which is not true. Indian tricolour flag: The current national flag of India is a horizontal tricolour of deep saffron at the top, white in the middle and dark green at the bottom in equal proportion. History and significance of the Indian tricolour flag: The first unofficial flag of India was 1906 hoisted on August 7, 1906, in the Parsee Bagan Square of Kolkata.
