Detailed explanation-1: -The National flag of India is a horizontal tricolor of deep saffron (kesari) at the top, white in the middle and dark green at the bottom in equal proportion. The ratio of width of the flag to its length is two to three. In the centre of the white band is a navy blue wheel which represents the chakra.
Detailed explanation-2: -Ans. Red and yellow colours are mixed in a particular ratio to form the Saffron shade of our flag. Philosophically, the red denotes both valour and action whereas the yellow stands for wisdom.
Detailed explanation-3: -Dr Atlury Murali, Professor of Modern History at UoH, adds, “Initially, red was feared in that it represented revolution, so they changed the colour to saffron. The Sikhs wanted yellow to be incorporated to represent their community.” The other significant element in the Indian flag is the Ashok Chakra.
