Saffron for courage, white for truth, green for growth, and in the middle of that white band sits a navy wheel with 24 spokes, the Ashoka Chakra, borrowed from a pillar built by a 3rd-century BC emperor. Adopted in 1947 alongside independence, it's the flag for Independence Day, a cricket match, or a Diwali post far from home.
What 🇮🇳 means
A rectangular triband with horizontal stripes of saffron, white and green, spreading from the top band to the bottom band. At the center of the flag, within the white band, is the navy blue Ashoka Chakra.
The 🇮🇳 Flag: India emoji represents the second-largest country in the world, in terms of population. Officially, this nation is known as the Republic of India, and the current flag emoji is shown as 'IN' on some platforms.
