Flag of India - Independence day of India 2011
India celebrates Independence Day on August 15 each year. The Indian Flag was designed as a symbol of freedom. The late Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru called it "a flag not only of freedom for ourselves, but a symbol of freedom to all people." The flag was based upon the design of the flag of the Indian National Congress.
The National Flag of India is a horizontal rectangular tricolour of deep saffron, white and India green; with the Ashok Chakra, a 24-spoke wheel, in navy blue at its centre. It was adopted in its present form during a meeting of the Constituent Assembly held on 22 July 1947, when it became the official flag of the Dominion of India.
India's Independence Day is an annual gazetted holiday on August 15 to commemorate the day India became an independent nation.
