    Question

    Which flag of the Indian National Congress was adopted in 1931?

    A.

    A two colour flag with charkha made by cloth

    B.

    A tricolour flag made by Khadi with a Charkha symbol

    C.

    One colour flag with charkha symbol

    D.

    A blue colour flag made by cloth

    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.
