Flags are not just pieces of fabric. They are powerful symbols of identity, unity, and struggle. For nations, a flag represents everything its people have stood for — their dreams, their battles, and their future. As we prepare to celebrate Independence Day, it’s the perfect time to reflect on what the Indian flag truly means — beyond just its colors or where it’s hoisted. Across the world, flags have carried meaning for centuries. From ancient battlefields to Olympic podiums, a flag is a visual story of pride. Japan’s rising sun, South Africa’s rainbow design, or America’s stars and stripes — all these flags represent national journeys. So does ours. The Indian flag, known as the Tiranga, has a powerful history that many of us never got to read in detail. In 1906, the first unofficial Indian flag was hoisted in Kolkata. It had three horizontal stripes — green, yellow, and red — with symbols like the sun, crescent moon, and the phrase "Vande Mataram." In 1921, freedom fighter Pingali Venkayya designed a new version — red and green to represent Hindus and Muslims. Later, Gandhi suggested adding a white stripe to represent peace and all other communities. He also added the spinning wheel — the charkha — to symbolize self-reliance and India’s Swadeshi movement. Finally, on July 22, 1947, just before independence, the Constituent Assembly adopted the version of the national flag we know today. The spinning wheel was replaced by the Ashoka Chakra, a wheel with 24 spokes, representing justice, movement, and eternal progress.
