Tiranga

Tiranga (Tricolour) First unfurled, was the Indian tricolor; on Everest, the world's highest peak. All the three colours are deliberated to give some message and speak. Dark saffron, white and Indian green, the three colours of Indian national flag; all in horizontal rectangular bars, top to bottom, respectively placed. Green band at bottom tells Indians, grow with greenery and agriculture; White band in middle of it, gives us message of peace, truth and culture. Saffron says, be brave and courageous, don't hesitate to sacrifice if nation needs; Wheel of twenty four spokes at centre tells, on the path of progress always proceed. Made of hand spun Indian cloth, Khadi, at one hand symbolises pride of nation; Design and colour on the other, say symbolically what ought to do the great Indians. On every Independence and republic days Tiranga is unfurled widely in the country. That reminds the people; be nice, graceful, peaceful, prosper and keep in mind your duty. (C) S. D. Tiwari
