History of Indian National Flag
The Indian National Flag symbolises national pride and
is one of the most respected national symbols. The late Prime Minister Jawaharlal
Nehru called it "a flag not only of freedom for ourselves but a
symbol of freedom to all the people."
As per the Indian laws, the national flag is to be made up of khadi. The flag code of India governs the usage of the flag. Initially, use of the Indian flag by private citizens was prohibited, except on national days like Republic Day and Independence Day. But gradually, some changes were made by the Union Cabinet about the flag's use by private citizens. The code was amended about its usage for hoisting and its adaptation on other types of clothes.
The national flag is popularly known as Tiranga, which means "three colours" or "tricoloured". It is a horizontal tricolour in equal proportion of deep saffron at the top, white in the middle and green at the bottom. The ratio of the width to the length of the flag is 2:3. At the centre of the white band is a wheel with 24 spokes in navy blue colour that indicates the Dharma Chakra (Wheel of Law).
White: The white colour represents honesty, peace, and purity. It highlights the importance of maintaining peace in the country.
Green: The green colour represents faith and chivalry. It is a symbol of prosperity, vibrancy, and life.
Ashoka Chakra: The Ashoka Chakra or the Dharma Chakra (Wheel of Law) has 24 spokes and appears on a number of edicts of Ashoka.

republic. The flag came into being in its present form at the meeting of
Constitutional Assembly on 22 July 1947. Since then it has served as the
National Flag of the Dominion of India from 15 August 1947 to 26 January 1950

History of Republic Day
HISTORY OF CELEBRATING REPUBLIC DAY
India got freedom from the British Rule on 15th August 1947. At that time, there was no permanent constitution of the country. It was on 4th November 1947 that the first draft of the Indian Constitution was presented by the drafting committee to the national assembly. The first draft of the Indian Constitution was signed by the national assembly in both versions, i.e. English and Hindi on 24th January 1950.
Thereafter, the Constitution of India came into effect on Republic Day, i.e. 26th January 1950. Since then, 26th of January is being celebrated as the Republic Day in India. On this day, India was declared as the Purna Swaraj Country and thus we began celebrating this day as the anniversary of the Purna Swaraj Day.
The Constitution of India empowered the Indian Citizens to select their own government. The oath was taken by Dr. Rajendra Prasad as the first president of India at Durbar Hall in the Government House. India has a big history behind celebrating the Republic day.
IMPORTANCE OF CELEBRATING 26 JANUARY
Republic Day is the symbol of true spirit for the independent India where Indian President hoists our national flag and grand military parades, exhibiting the military equipment take place, including a variety of other events. Indian National Flag is tricolor in nature having horizontal stripes, i.e. upper saffron, middle white and bottom of dark green colour divided in equal proportions and a wheel (navy blue colour, having 24 spokes) in the centre representing the Sarnath Lion Capital of Ashoka.
India is a country where people from different cultures, societies, religions and languages live in harmony with each other. The freedom of our country is indeed a matter of great pride because needless to say it was obtained after many years of struggle and great sacrifice.
Therefore, this day is celebrated every year in order to make Indian people feel proud of having taken birth on this multi-cultural land. Republic Day is celebrated in a very colorful fashion in order to make celebrations memorable and special for every Indian Citizen. National Anthem is sung by the people who take part in the celebration. This celebration brings all the Indian people together and instills a feeling of national pride as well as love for our country.

History of Indian Republic
The History of the Republic of
India begins on 26 January 1950:
Nation within the British Commonwealth on 15 August 1947. Concurrently the Muslim-majority northwest
and east of British India was separated
into the Dominion of Pakistan, by the partition of India. The partition led to a population transfer of more than 10 million people between India and
Pakistan and the death of about one million people. Indian National Congress leader Jawaharlal Nehru became the
first Prime Minister of India, but the leader most associated with the independence struggle, Mahatma Gandhi, accepted no
office. The new constitution of 1950 made India a democratic
country.
The Nation faced
religious violence, casteism, naxalism, terrorism and regional separatist insurgencies,
especially in Jammu and Kashmir and
northeastern India. India has unresolved territorial disputes with China, which in 1962
escalated into the Sino-Indian War, and with Pakistan,
which resulted in wars in 1947, 1965, 1971 and 1999.
India was neutral in the Cold War, but purchased its military weapons from the Soviet Union,
while its arch-foe Pakistan was closely tied to the United States and the
People's Republic of China.
India is a nuclear-weapon state,
having conducted its first nuclear test in
1974, followed by another five tests in 1998. From the 1950 s to the 1980 s,
India followed socialist-inspired policies. The economy was
influenced by extensive regulation, protectionism and
public ownership, leading to pervasive corruption and slow economic growth. Beginning
in 1991, neoliberal economic reforms have
transformed India into the third largest and one
of the fastest-growing economies in
the world, though corruption remains a pervasive problem. Today, India is
a major world
power with a prominent voice in global affairs and
is seeking a permanent seat in the United Nations Security Council.
Many economists, military analysts and think tanks expect India to become
a superpower in the near future.

History of Indian Prime Minister
Narendra Damodardas Modi is
an Indian politician serving as the 14th and
current Prime Minister of India since 2014.
He was the Chief Minister of Gujarat from
2001 to 2014, and is the Member of Parliament for Varanasi. Modi is a member
of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and
the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh(RSS).
Born
to a Gujarati family in Vadnagar, Modi helped his father sell tea as a child and later
ran his own stall. He was introduced to the RSS at the age of eight, beginning
a long association with the organisation. He left home after graduating from
school, partly because of an arranged
marriage which he rejected. Modi travelled around India for two
years and visited a number of religious centres.He returned to Gujarat and
moved to Ahmedabad in 1969 or 1970. In 1971 he became a full-time
worker for the RSS. During the state of emergency imposed across the
country in 1975, Modi was forced to go into hiding. The RSS assigned him to the
BJP in 1985, and he held several positions within the party hierarchy until
2001, rising to the rank of General Secretary.
Narendra Modi was born on 17
September 1950 to a family of grocers in Vadnagar, Mehsana
district, Bombay State (present-day Gujarat).
He was the third of six children born to Damodardas Mulchand Modi (c.1915 –
1989) and Hiraben Modi (born c.1920). Modi's
family belonged to the Modh-Ghanchi-Teli (oil-presser) community, which is categorised
as an Other Backward Classby the Indian
government.
As
a child, Modi helped his father sell tea at the Vadnagar railway station and later
ran a tea stall with his brother near a bus terminus. Modi completed his higher secondary education in
Vadnagar in 1967, where a teacher described him as an average student and a
keen debater, with interest in theatre. Modi had an early gift for rhetoric in
debates, and his teachers and students noted this. Modi preferred playing
larger-than-life characters in theatrical productions, which has influenced his
political image.
When
eight years old, Modi discovered the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) and
began attending its local shakhas (training
sessions). There, Modi met Lakshmanrao Inamdar, popularly known as Vakil
Saheb, who inducted him as a balswayamsevak (junior
cadet) for RSS and became his political mentor. While Modi was training
with the RSS, he also met Vasant Gajendragadkar and Nathalal Jaghda, Bharatiya Jana Sangh leaders who were
founding members of the BJP's Gujarat unit in 1980.Engaged while still a
child to Jashodaben, a girl from a family who lived close by, Modi
rejected the arranged marriage at the same time he graduated from high school. The
resulting familial tensions contributed to his decision to leave home in 1967
Modi spent
the ensuing two years travelling across Northern and North-eastern India,
though few details of where he went have emerged. In interviews, Modi has described visiting Hindu
ashrams founded by Swami
Vivekananda: the Belur
Math near Kolkata, followed by the Advaita
Ashrama in Almora and the Ramakrishna Mission in Rajkot. Modi remained only a short time at each, since he lacked
the required college education. Vivekananda has been described as a
large influence in Modi's life.
