The Indian National Flag has sailed through vicissitudes of time and several political and national developments to reach its present form and design. 

 India@75 | The several milestones in the evolution of the Indian Flag

The Indian National Flag has sailed through vicissitudes of time and several political and national&nbsp;developments to reach its present form and design.&nbsp;

The Indian National Flag has sailed through vicissitudes of time and several political and national&nbsp;developments to reach its present form and design.&nbsp;

75 Years of Independence: A patriotic feeling and euphoria overcomes Indians every time our National Flag is hoisted. It is not only a symbol of pride and mark of a free country but is also recognised as something to live and to die for.&nbsp;
Saffron at the top, white in the middle with the navy blue chakra (wheel) and green at the bottom- this is how we know the tricolour today.
Little do we know that the Indian National Flag has sailed through vicissitudes of time and several political and national&nbsp;developments.&nbsp;
Let's take a look at how its changed through time to become the tricolour we now know:
The first Flag was hoisted on August 7th, 1906 in the Parsee Bagan Square in Calcutta (now Kolkata). Believed to have been designed by freedom activists Sachindra&nbsp;Prasad Bose and Hemchandra Kanungo, the flag had horizontal stripes of red, yellow and green, with Vande Mataram written in the middle. The red stripe had symbols of the sun and a crescent moon while the green stripe had eight half-open lotuses.&nbsp;
The second Flag was very similar to the first flag but the top band had seven stars denoting the Saptarishi. This flag was hoisted in&nbsp;Paris by Madame Cama and exiled revolutionaries in 1907.&nbsp;
The third Flag was hoisted in 1917 by Dr Annie Besant and Lokmanya Tilak during the Home rule movement. The flag constituted of&nbsp;five red and four green horizontal stripes with seven stars in Saptarishi formation.&nbsp;
The fourth Flag was adopted in 1921 and comprised of two colours- red and green- representing the Hindu and Muslim communities.&nbsp;Mahatama Gandhi added the white stripe representing the rest of the communities and the spinning wheel as a mark of the nation's progress.&nbsp;
The fifth Flag was initially the battle ensign of the Indian National Army. In 1931, a resolution was passed for the adoption of the tricolour as&nbsp;the National Flag. The flag featured stripes of saffron, white and green with Mahatama Gandhi's spinning wheel at the center.&nbsp;
The sixth flag was similar to the one designed in 1931, except the Dharma Charkha of Emperor Ashoka replaced the spinning wheel. On July 22, 1947, it was adopted as the Free India National Flag. This variation of the flag is how we know our National Flag today.&nbsp;

Independence Day 2021: To celebrate the 75th Independence Day, you can don the tricolour without ruffling any feathers. We'll tell you how!  

Independence Day 2021: Ways to wear our tricolour on 15th August without breaking the law

India@75: Here's how you can wear the three colours of the National Flag without asking&nbsp;for trouble.&nbsp;

India@75: Donning the 'Tricolour' colours without breaking the law

We Indians love to wear our hearts on our sleeves and during Independence Day, when our hearts are filled with the spirit of patriotism, wearing the tricolours (of the National Flag) on our sleeves (literally) does make sense, right?
But, back in 2017, when actor Priyanka Chopra chose to wear a tricolour scarf to celebrate her love for the nation, she was brutally trolled on the Internet. So what lead to such online criticism? What does the law say about wearing the three colours as a part of our outfit?
(((BYTE)))&nbsp;
In 2020, after the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic and the corresponding usage of masks, people started selling and wearing tricolour masks around Independence Day. This was greatly opposed by the Indian policymakers as it was considered a brazen disrespect for the National Flag and consequently such masks were banned across the country.
So, before choosing your Independence Day outfit this year, remember that while it is not entirely illegal to wear the tricolours, it is important to do so with&nbsp;reverence.&nbsp;You can try out a tricoloured t-shirt, saree, dupatta, or even incorporate it in accessories like a turban, earrings and bangles to showcase your love for the country.&nbsp;&nbsp;

It is not entirely illegal to wear the tricolours as&nbsp;part of our attire to celebrate Independence Day. However, it should be donned tastefully, without disrespecting the National Flag.

In 2005, the Lok Sabha had passed a bill to lawfully allow Indian citizens to wear the tricolour as part of their attire, if worn respectably. It is illegal to wear the tricolours anywhere below the waist and doing so will be considered a serious offence. So any piece of clothing below that cannot have any representation of the Indian National Flag.&nbsp;

CW Projects - Mumbai Ahemdabad High Speed Rail

Railways is one of the most efficient and cheapest methods of speedily transporting people and goods. The Mumbai-Ahemdabad high speed rail corridor is an under construction high speed rail line connecting Mumbai in Maharashtra and Ahmedabad in Gujarat. Upon completion it will be India's premier high speed rail line. The high speed rail project between Ahmedabad and Mumbai covers the total distance of 508 km, 55.6 km of the proposal alignment falls in Maharashtra, 350.5 kilometers in Gujarat and 2 kilometers in the union territories of Dadra &amp; Nagar Haveli. The high speed rail is expected to run at an average speed of 320 kilometers per hour going as fast as 350 kilometers per hour. It will stop at 12 railway stations including Mumbai, Thane, Virar, Boisar, Vapi, Bilimora, Surat, Bharuch, Vadodara, Anand/Nadia, Ahemdabad and Sabarmati for 165 seconds each. The train is designated with two categories of seats - Executive and Economy. 471 kilometers of the corridor is to be elevated and there is a construction plan for a 21 kilometer underground tunnel between Thane and Virar of which seven kilometers will be under sea. The expected total journey time is approximately two hours and seven minutes. The corridor were used 24 Shinkansen E5 series of the Japanese railways as its rolling stop, six of which are going to be assembled in India. The trains will be adapted to function under Indian wheather to withstand temperatures exceeding 50 degrees Celsius. This will be done through the use of special cooling systems and air conditioners. Air conditioners and blowers in the high speed rail will be fitted with fine mesh dust filters to prevent dust from getting in. The shinkansen train will be modified further to make extra space by removing a few seats from the last coat of each train for storing heavy luggage. These trains will come equipped with multipurpose rooms that include foldable beds for feeding mothers and patients. The rooms will also be furnished with mirrors and baggage racks. In 2012 the ministry of trailways established the high-speed rail corporation of India limited for the development and execution of high speed rail projects. The feasibility of the project was assessed by the Japan international cooperation agency and the ministry of railways in 2013. The government also set up a special purpose vehicle - The National High Speed Rail Corporation in February 2016 to implement the project of high speed rail corridor from Mumbai to Ahmedabad. The total cost of the project is valued at approximately 17 billion dollars. 85% of the total cost is funded by the Japan international cooperation agency as loan at an interest rate of 0.1% for the moratorium of 15 years and repayment period of 50 years. The leftover cost will be sustained by the state government of Maharashtra and Gujarat. As of July 2020, 60% of the required land has been acquired. A tender for 28 steel divers have been allocated while the rest are underway. As per the terms of the loan agreement with the Japan international cooperation agency signaling equipment and power systems for the corridor will be imported from Japan. The corridor is expected to make its first run on August 15, 2022 on account of India 75th independence day. The marker of any good economy is the development of its transport system. With more high-speed rail corridor plans underway India is on its way to set a benchmark for an intricate transport network in the South Asian region.
