      From Union Jack to Tricolour: India’s Tryst

      The idea of one nation, one identity in a democratic parliamentary form of governance is visualised clearly in a wider sense of its true meaning. This very core message is implied in the spectrum of our Indian thinking. India, that is Bharat, shall be a union of states is the first article of the Constitution brought forth. The Constitution is the living document that is not been rusted by half a century.

      India was born on the midnight’s hour and we adopted a national flag with full might and constitutional commitment to its ideals. The tricolour is a symbolic representation of India’s dreams and idealism. It is projected in a sense of identity that each Indian shall ensure the dignity and fundamentality of our eternal Bharatmata. The flag is safeguarded with unparalleled constitutional values. The diversity of India is her blessing and such a country with a vast multitude of voices and efforts makes India a true democracy in letter and spirit.

      The flag of India is her symbol, the dream and overall the fire, ambition and flames of victory. The colours represent the indomitable spirit of national awakening from a long colonial darkness. The perfidy of imperialism set foot on Indian shores by the latter half of 16th century and left a monumental disaster, plunging the economy, social life into a third rate and mere shambles.

      India is the very representation of a multi ethnicity and diverse social milieu, with amplified forms of life. The cultural zone that India promulgates through herself made, self-build nationalism is visible in the tricolour. India’s glory doesn’t dwell in the past or the present, but is brighter than the dreams of a continent too. Jai Hind.
