National Flag

• Our national flag is the symbol of freedom and
  sovereignty. It is the flag under which our
  freedom fighter had fought for Indias
  independence.
• Before independence our national flag had
  spinning wheel in centre. It was necessary at
  that time for doing like that to remember the
  people who struggled for swadeshi movement which
  was started by Gandhi.
• After independence instead of spinning wheel,
  ashoka charka was replaced. The charka had 24
  spokes. It stands for peace and love.
