The Indus valley civilization saw its genesis in the holy land now known as India around 2500 BC. The people inhabiting the Indus River valley were thought to be Dravidians, whose descendants later migrated to the south of India. The deterioration of this civilization that developed a culture based on commerce and sustained by agricultural trade can be attributed to ecological changes.

The European presence in India dates to the sixteenth century, and it is in the very early part of the eighteenth century that the Mughal empire began to disintegrate, paving the way for regional states. In the contest for supremacy, the English emerged victors, their rule marked by the conquests at the battlefields of Plassey and Buxar. The Rebellion of 1857-58, which sought to restore Indian supremacy, was crushed; and with the subsequent crowning of Victoria as Empress of India, the incorporation of India into the empire was complete.

The national flag of free India was first adopted by the Constituent Assembly on 22 July 1947. The Indian National Flag symbolises national pride and is one of the most respectable national symbols. The late Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru called it "a flag not only of freedom for ourselves but a symbol of freedom to all people."

The National Flag of India epitomizes its civilization and culture, heritage and freedom. The Indian national flag is a tricolor. It consists of three bears Saffron at the top, white in the middle dark and green at the bottom. Saffron is the symbol sacrifice and selfishness. The white colour in the middle stands for piety, purity, truth and simplicity. It reminds us that we Indian must he pure, and truthful at heart and simple in manners. Green stands for youth and energy. The Ashoka Chakra at the centre symbolizes the cult of Ashinsa and the never ending activities in the country for its progress.

The Indian, everyone, honor their national banner and rally around it. It is typically flown on all Government structures, High Courts, Secretariats, and Collectorates and so on. On days of national significance, Independence, or Republic Day, the banner is seen rippling on each house-tops.

Each independent nation has its even national banner. It is an invaluable ownership of the express. The state anticipates that all nationals will keep the respect of its banner. The national banner of India reflects all around the trusts and motivations cherished in our constitution. Flag Company Inc decided to assist with the history development by providing special decals and banners to make it easy to build a bit of Indian Flag history right at home.
