Correct option is B
The correct answer is (b) A tricolour flag made by Khadi with a Charkha symbol.
· In 1931, the Indian National Congress adopted a tricolour flag featuring the following elements:
·
Colours: Saffron at the top, white in the middle, and green at the bottom.
·
Symbol: A charkha (spinning wheel) in navy blue placed in the center of the white stripe.
· This flag was made of Khadi, a hand-spun and hand-woven cloth, symbolizing self-reliance and the Swadeshi movement.
· The charkha represented India's struggle for freedom and self-sufficiency.
· The first unofficial flag of India was hoisted in Calcutta (now Kolkata) in 1906.
· It was a tricolour of green, yellow, and red, with symbols such as a crescent, stars, and a sun.
Facts to remember:
· The present flag of India was adopted on July 22, 1947, shortly before India's independence on August 15, 1947.
· It retained the same tricolour design but replaced the charkha with the Ashoka Chakra, a 24-spoke wheel, in navy blue in the center of the white stripe.
· The Ashoka Chakra represents the eternal wheel of law (Dharma).
· The Indian national flag consists of three horizontal stripes: saffron at the top, white in the middle, and green at the bottom.
·
Saffron: Represents courage and sacrifice.
·
White: Symbolizes truth, peace, and purity.
·
Green: Stands for faith, fertility, and chivalry.
