Did you know that the first Indian national flag was hoisted on 7 August 1906 at Parsee Bagan Square in Kolkata? The first version of our current national flag was designed by Pingali Venkayya at Bezwada in 1921. Initially, it had red and green stripes with a white stripe in the middle. The red and green colors represented the two major communities in India, while white represented all other communities. The white stripe had a spinning wheel in the center. The red stripe was later changed to saffron. The official national anthem, Jana Gana Mana, was written in Bengali in 1911. India was named after the River Indus, since it was home to the Indus Valley Civilization, which is known to be one of the oldest civilizations in the world. In 2020, India will celebrate its 74th Independence Day to pay tribute to all the freedom fighters.
