THE HISTORY OF THE INDIAN FLAG.

The flag that was first hoisted on August 7, 1906, at the Parsee Bagan Square in Calcutta.

Called the ‘Saptarishi Flag’, this was hoisted in Stuttgart at the International Socialist Congress held on August 22, 1907

Associated with the names of Dr. Annie Besant and Lokmanya Tilak, this flag was hoisted at the Congress session in Calcutta during the’Home Rule Movement’.

In the year 1921, a young man from Andhra presented this flag to Gandhiji for approval. It was only after Gandhiji’s suggestion that the white strip and the charkha were added.

This flag was suggested during the All India Congress Committee session in 1931. However, the Committee’s suggestion was not approved.

On August 6, 1931, the Indian National Congress formally adopted this flag, which was first hoisted on August 31.

Our National Flag, which was born on July 22, 1947, with Nehruji’s words, “Now I present to you not only the Resolution, but the Flag itself”. This flag was first hoisted at the Council House on August 15, 1947.

The man who designed Tiranga, versatile genius Lt. Shri Pingali Venkayya.

Iconic Pictures

Iconic Photographs

After writing about how Kevin Carter’s pic of the starving child and the vulture pierced the conscience of humanity, I’m making a list of iconic photographs that caught the world’s eye. Some of them talk of grief, some of victory, some of happiness; yet, they all reflect human spirit and resilience, how unfazed we can be by the cold indifferent stare of destiny during the most trying of times.

The fiery green eyes of the Afghan refugee girl Sharbat Gula, the unknown teenager who dared to challenge the communist regime by facing the tanks at Tiananmen Square, the 3-year-old John F. Kennedy Jr saluting his father’s coffin, they all are manifestations of life in its starkest form. These photos, these people, they give us insights into life. What do you say?

(Left) A photograph by Mike Wells which shows a priest holding the hands of a starving child in Uganda. (Right) A physiotherapist holding the leg of a seven-year-old child at a clinic run by an NGO to cater to victims of the gas tragedy in Bhopal which  killed about 4,000 people. (Pic by Saurabh Das)

2.Kim Phuc – the naked child fleeing to save her life as American soldiers dropped the napalm bomb on Trang Bang, North Vietnam – became the symbol of the Vietnam War. Photographer Nick Ut got a Pulitzer prize for this picture.

This young man dared to face a column of tanks as the Chinese military forcibly tried to remove student protesters who gathered to challenge the Communist rule at Beijing’s Tiananmen Square in 1989. This image is often hailed as championing the spirit of democracy and freedom

The Shanghai Baby by H S Wong: The wounded infant crying for help after Shanghai was bombed by the Japanese army. In a world that was torn apart by war, there seemed to be no end for human atrocities. When collateral damage became inevitable, the common man’s life had no value. (Right) The photograph of firefighter Chris Fields removing infant Baylee Almon from the rubbles of  Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building after Oklahoma City got bombed. The baby, who celebrated his first b’day just a day before calamity struck, later died in the hospital.

When life becomes just a matter of survival, people forget how to smile. The blank expression of the migrant mother reflected the miserable state of the Great Depression era.  The ‘Migrant Mother’ photo was taken by Dorothea Lange.

The unknown Afghan girl and her emerald eyes caught the world’s attention as it appeared on the cover of the June 1985 issue of National Geographic Magazine. Photographer Steve McCurry spotted Sharbat Gula, who lost both her parents in the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan, at a refugee camp in Pakistan.
