INDIA

The National Flag of India was adopted on the 22 July 1947, twenty-four days before India's independence from the British on 15 August 1947. The national flag is based on the flag of the Indian National Congress, which was established in 1885. The flag's orange color symbolizes courage and sacrifice, white stands for peace and truth, and green is for faith and chivalry, and blue represents the color of the sky and the ocean. The central motif is a Chakra, or Buddhist spinning wheel.
