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.      Let's say loud we are INDIANS!!!
