Every free nation of the world has its own flag. National Flag is an emblem of a free country. We have our National Flag. It is the symbol of our nation, of our independence.
The Indian National Flag is also referred at “Tiranga” or “Tri-color” because the flag has three colours bands in its design. Besides the three colours, our national flag features a wheel with 24 spokes in the centre. This wheel, known as‘Ashoka Chakra’, is named in honor of the great Indian King ‘Ashoka’.
The three colors of the Indian flag are saffron, white and green. The colors and the Chakra have their own meanings. The saffron band at the top is the symbol of sacrifice and signifies the strength and courage of Indian nation. The white band in the middle stands for truth and purity. The green at the bottom of the flag is the symbol of youth, energy and the growth potential of India as a country. The Chakra means peace. It stands for activity and progress.
The national flag is hoisted on Independence Day, the republican day and on all other important national festivals. The nation flag is a sacred thing. We should all love and honor our national flag. We should maintain it at any cost.
