Madam Cama delivered a rousing speech at the Stuttgart Congress on Augdescribing the mismanagement of the famine situation by the British in India and appealing for human rights, equality and autonomy from the British Rule. The words 'Vande Mataram' in the Devanagri script were in the middle. The eight lotuses in the flag represent the eight provinces of British India. The crescent moon and the sun in the flag again represent Islam and Hinduism, respectively. The colours represent Islam, Hinduism, and Buddhism, respectively. Madam Cama and Hemchandra Das together modified the 'Calcutta Flag' and designed a new flag with three horizontal bands of equal width-green, yellow, and red. During his stay in Europe, he met Madam Bhikaji Cama, who was going to attend the Second Socialist Congress in Stuttgart, Germany. Hemchandra Das Kanungo went to Paris in 1907 to learn the technique of assembling bombs from the exiled Russian revolutionaries. The second attempt to provide the Indian Nation with a flag of their own was made in faraway Germany in the year 1907. However, in 1911, Bengal was re-united again, reversing the partition, and slowly the 'Calcutta Flag' was erased from public memory. This flag, known as the 'Calcutta Flag', was the first attempt to unite Indians under a single flag. This flag was unfurled on 7th August 1906, at Parsi Bagan Park Square of Calcutta. The word Vande Mataram was written in the middle, in the Devnagari script. Amid this protest, a young student leader named Sachindra Prasad Bose of Ripon College, in association with another radical Bengali named Hemchandra Das Kanungo designed a flag with three horizontal bands of equal width-orange, yellow, and green. Indian leaders and nationalists all over the country also supported the Bengali Cause and soon the protest took a radical shape, especially in Bengal. Bengalis staged a vehement opposition to this communal ploy to weaken the Indian national aspiration. The Bengal Presidency was divided on communal lines by separating Muslim majority Eastern Bengal from the Hindu majority western Bengal. To implement the British political theory of 'Divide and Rule', the partition of Bengal was declared on 19th July 1905.

The idea of a national flag first emerged during the time of the Partition of Bengal. In the early phase of the Indian freedom struggle, the people of India did not have any flag to represent the nation. Our national flag also had a long historical journey through which it evolved to its present form. As someone rightly said, a flag is the history of a nation.

Our flag, the 'Tiranga', is not only the representation of our pride or political ideologies, but is also the symbol of our unity, our heritage, and our aspirations as a free nation. A flag is not just a piece of cloth, it is the symbol that stands for freedom and sovereignty. “When we honour our flag, we honour what we stand for as a nation-freedom, equality, justice, and hope.”Įvery sovereign nation has a flag to represent it.
