Do we need Party Flags?




History of Flag of India.

A few days before India became independent on August 1947,
the specially constituted Constituent Assembly decided that
the flag of India must be acceptable to all parties and communities.

A flag with three colours, Saffron, White and Green with the Ashoka Chakra was selected.

Sarvepalli Radhakrishnan, who later became India's first Vice President,
clarified the adopted flag and described its significance as follows:

Bhagwa or the saffron colour denotes renunciation of disinterestedness.
Our leaders must be indifferent to material gains and dedicate themselves to their work.
The white in the centre is light, the path of truth to guide our conduct.
The green shows our relation to (the) soil, our relation to the plant life here,
on which all other life depends.

The "Ashoka Chakra" in the centre of the white is the wheel of the law of dharma.
Truth or satya, dharma or virtue ought to be the controlling principle of those
who work under this flag.

Again, the wheel denotes motion.
There is death in stagnation.
There is life in movement.

India should no more resist change, it must move and go forward.
The wheel represents the dynamism of a peaceful change.
