Bharat ki Azadi ka Amrit Mahotsav: Know History and Designer of our National Flag

When it comes to history of the National Flag of India, not many know about it, but it is meant to instill a feeling of pride as well as patriotism in all Indians.

Around 75 years ago, on July 22, 1947, the Constituent Assembly of India, accepted the Tricolor as the national flag. Before this, there existed no national flag for India. The National Flag of any nation symbolizes the national sentiments.

The National flag represents every religion, caste, race, region and language of the nation. The National flag of India does all these features. It is also regarded as the symbol integrity, indomitable courage and respect for India in the world.

A picture of the national flag was released some time back, when we won the Kargil war 1999, the Indian soldiers hoisted the tricolor with great pride after dusting off the Pakistan Army. There were numerous heroes of Kargil war. Among them was the name of the matyr Captain Vikram Batra.

The love of the captain Vikram Batra towards the tricolor has created a new definition for the nationalism. Now one can see pictures of the last year's Tokyo Olympics when Neeraj Chopra made history by wining the gold medal in the sport of Javelin throw.

Before independence there were about 562 princely states in India and all these princely states had varied flags.
