I think, and everybody knows, that we are meeting as a sovereign body here and making the constitution for a future Free India. But in the envelopes used by the Assembly Office we still find on the top the words 'On His Majesty's Service'. I think this is not proper and I draw the attention of the House and yourself to this matter. I hope these words will be dropped from the envelopes in future in the correspondence conducted by the Assembly Office. ------------------------------------- RESOLUTION RE. NATIONAL FLAG Mr. President: We shall proceed with the agenda. The first item on the agenda is a Motion by Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru about the Flag. The Honourable Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru (United Provinces: General): Mr. President, it is my proud privilege to move the following Resolution: "Resolved that the National Flag of India shall be horizontal tricolour of deep Saffron (Kesari), white and dark green in equal proportion. In the centre of the white band, there shall be a Wheel in navy blue to represent the Charkha. The design of the Wheel shall be that of the Wheel.

National Liberation, Non-Racialism and “Indianness” the 1947 Visit of Dadoo and Naicker to India
National Liberation, Non-Racialism and “Indianness” the 1947 visit of Dadoo and Naicker to India Goolam Vahed and Ashwin Desai Introduction This paper focuses on a trip that the leaders of the Transvaal Indian Congress (TIC) and the Natal Indian Congress (NIC), Yusuf Dadoo and Monty Naicker, made to India from March to May 1947. The trip is used as a lens through which to attempt to understand the relationship between the South African Indian Congresses and the Indian National Congress (INC), and the local issues that Dadoo was grappling with - Indo-African relations (race), national liberation (nationalism), and place of the Communist Party (class) in the struggle against white minority rule. Background The two Edinburgh trained medical doctors Yusuf Dadoo and Monty Naicker were central figures in the fight to wrest control of the Indian Congresses from moderate leaderships. These battles raged through the first half of the 1940s against the Kajee/Pather faction that held sway in Natal and the Nana/Valod group that dominated the Transvaal. In the Transvaal especially the faction fight within the Transvaal Indian Congress (TIC) took a particularly vicious form between Dadoo’s Nationalist Bloc and the Nana/Valod group. At a meeting on 4 June 1939 at Osrin’s Picture Palace a fight broke out between these groups. Manilal Gandhi who attended the meeting wrote that it ‘resembled a slaughter house, butcher knives being freely used in addition to bottles, heavy clubs, bicycle chains and knuckle-dusters’.1 In this confrontation Dayabhai Govindjee was to lose his life. The name of Dadoo’s group is especially intriguing and one for which there is no ready answer.

HISTORY of INDIAN PAINTING Historyofindianflag
VIDYA BHAWAN BALIKA VIDYAPITH Subject : Fine Art (painting) class : 12th science/com Date : 17/06/20 RADHAKISHOR MONDAL HISTORY OF INDIAN PAINTING History of Indian Flag A number of flags with varying designs were used in the period preceding the Indian Independence Movement by the rulers of different princely states; the idea of a single Indian flag was first raised by the British rulers of India after the rebellion of 1857, which resulted in the establishment of direct imperial rule. The first flag, whose design was based on western heraldic standards, were similar to the flags of other British colonies, including Canada and South Africa; its red field included the Union Jack in the upper-left quadrant and a Star of India capped by the royal crown in the middle of the right half. To address the question of how the star conveyed "Indianness", Queen Victoria created the Knight Commander of the Order of the Star of India to honour services to the empire by her Indian subjects. Subsequently, all the Indian princely states received flags with symbols based on the heraldic criteria of Europe including the right to fly defaced British red ensigns. A proposed flag for India from 1904, as seen in an Anglo- Indian weekly. The dark blue band represented Hindus and Buddhists, the green band represented Muslims, and the light blue band represented Christians. The vertical purple band on the left side contained the stars from the Orion constellation, which represented the provinces and states. The surrounding red border symbolised India being kept united and whole by British rule.

Framing the Constitution 405
FRAMING THE CONSTITUTION 405 Framing the Constitution THEME The Beginning of a New Eraaa FIFTEEN The Indian Constitution, which came into effect on 26 January 1950, has the dubious distinction of being the longest in the world. But its length and complexity are perhaps understandable when one considers the country’s size and diversity. At Independence, India was not merely large and diverse, but also deeply divided. A Constitution designed to keep the country together, and to take it forward, had necessarily to be an elaborate, carefully-worked-out, and painstakingly drafted document. For one thing, it sought to heal wounds of the past and the present, to make Indians of different classes, castes and communities come together in a shared political experiment. For another, it sought to nurture democratic institutions in what had long been a culture of hierarchy and deference. The Constitution of India was framed between December 1946 and November 1949. During this time its drafts were discussed clause by clause in the Constituent Assembly of India. In all, the Assembly Fig. 15.1 The Constitution was signed in December 1949 after three years of debate. 2021–22 406 THEMES IN INDIAN HISTORY – PART III held eleven sessions, with sittings spread over 165 days. In between the sessions, the work of revising and refining the drafts was carried out by various committees and sub-committees. From your political science textbooks you know what the Constitution of India is, and you have seen how it has worked over the decades since Independence. This chapter will introduce you to the history that lies behind the Constitution, and the intense debates that were part of its making.

National Flag of India
National Flag of India drishtiias.com/printpdf/national-flag-of-india Why in News India will celebrate its 74th Independence Day in 2020, and like every year the Prime Minister of India will hoist the National Flag at the Red Fort to commemorate the day. Key Points Design: The design of the Indian tricolour is largely attributed to Pingali Venkayya, an Indian freedom fighter. He proposed a basic design of the flag, consisting of two red and green bands to symbolise the two major communities, Hindus and Muslims. Mahatma Gandhi arguably suggested adding a white band to represent peace and the rest of the communities living in India, and a spinning wheel to symbolise the progress of the country. He passed away in 1963 and was posthumously honoured with a postage stamp in 2009 for his contribution towards Indian freedom struggle. In 2014, his name was also proposed for the Bharat Ratna. 1/3 History: 1906: Arguably the first national flag of India is said to have been hoisted on 7th August 1906, in Kolkata at the Parsee Bagan Square (Green Park). It comprised three horizontal strips of red, yellow and green, with Vande Mataram written in the middle. The red strip on the flag had symbols of the sun and a crescent moon, and the green strip had eight half-open lotuses. 1907: Madame Cama and her group of exiled revolutionaries hoisted an Indian flag in Germany in 1907 — this was the first Indian flag to be hoisted in a foreign land. 1917: Dr Annie Besant and Lokmanya Tilak adopted a new flag as part of the Home Rule Movement.
