Evolution of India's National Flag from Early Designs to the Tricolour
India's national flag evolved through several stages before becoming the Tricolour known today. Early versions appeared during the Swadeshi movement in 1906, featuring symbolic colors and motifs. In 1907, Bhikaji Cama unfurled a modified flag at an international congress in Germany, highlighting India's independence struggle abroad. Later, Pingali Venkayya designed a flag incorporating red and green bands and the spinning charkha, which Mahatma Gandhi endorsed in 1921. These developments reflect the flag's deep connection to India's freedom movement and diverse heritage.
