The Secrets Behind The Tri Colour Indian Flag 2020 Update.
Indian Flag: There is no sovereign nation without a flag. All sovereign Nations of the world have their own flags. It symbolizes the freedom, strength and autonomy of a nation.
The Indian National Flag was adopted in its present form during the meeting of Constituent Assembly held on the 22 July 1947. Just a few days before India’s independence from the British on 15 August, 1947.
It served as the national flag of the Dominion of India between 15 August 1947 and 26 January 1950 and was still maintained as the national flag of the Republic of India thereafter.
If you used the word “tricolour” in India, you would be directly referring to the country’s national flag.
