Tezzbuzz Desk- On the occasion of 15th August i.e. Independence Day, the entire country is seen colored in the colors of the tricolor. From schools to government offices and homes, the national flag flies proudly. The tricolor is a symbol of India's independence, unity, respect and national pride. But do you know that each stripe of the tricolor and the Ashok Chakra in between gives a special message?
The national flag of India has three equal stripes—saffron at the top, white in the middle and green at the bottom. There is a dark blue Ashoka Chakra in the middle of the white stripe. All these symbols have their own significance.
What does saffron color indicate?
The topmost strip of the tricolor is saffron in colour. This color reflects the spirit of courage, renunciation and sacrifice. The message of serving the country selflessly and moving ahead with determination even in difficult circumstances is associated with it. Saffron color also reminds that it is important to keep national interest above personal interest and maintain a sense of dedication towards the country.
What is the meaning of white color?
There is a white stripe in the middle of the tricolor. White color is considered a symbol of peace, truth and harmony. It reflects the spirit of peaceful progress with mutual brotherhood in the country and society. The message of white color is that along with development, honesty, transparency and peace should also remain important in the society.
What does green color symbolize?
The lowest stripe of the tricolor is green. It is seen to be associated with prosperity, greenery and development. India's agriculture and natural wealth play an important role in the life of the country, so green color also represents nature and a sense of well-being. This color also indicates the balanced and sustainable development of the country.
Why are there 24 spokes in Ashoka Chakra?
There is a dark blue Ashoka Chakra on the white stripe in the middle of the tricolor. It has 24 sticks. It has been taken from the Lion Pillar of Ashoka at Sarnath. Ashoka Chakra is considered a symbol of speed and continuous progress. Its message is that life and nation should not move forward in stagnation, but in the direction of continuous progress.
What message do the three colors convey together?
To consider the Tricolor as merely a combination of three colors and a circle would be to belittle its importance. Its colors and the Ashoka Chakra together convey the message of courage, peace, prosperity, continuous progress and responsibility towards the nation. The tricolor also reminds us that for the strength of the country, it is important to move forward by taking different ideas, cultures and communities together. This diversity is the identity of India.
Why does the importance of the tricolor increase on Independence Day?
The country celebrates Independence Day on 15 August. On this day, the tricolor becomes not only a national flag but also a symbol of the freedom struggle and the remembrance of sacrifices made for the country. When the tricolor flutters in the sky, it strengthens the feeling of unity, responsibility and respect for the nation among the countrymen. Therefore, paying respect to the tricolor on Independence Day is a matter of pride for every Indian.
Tricolor is the identity of the country
The national flag of India is a symbol of unity, integrity and pride of the country. Saffron gives a feeling of courage and sacrifice, white conveys peace and truth, green reminds of prosperity and greenery and Ashoka Chakra inspires continuous progress.
