Report: Tricolour Respect Lacking Among Khalistani Supporters
The Indian flag, the Tricolour, has three colors: saffron (strength), white (peace), and green (growth).
It has the Ashoka Chakra in the middle, showing life is always moving.
The flag's design evolved before India's independence.
The Sikh community's input led to placing the saffron band on top.
It is now common to see the Tricolour displayed on homes.
A report highlighted a concern over altering Sikh symbols.
Report suggests Khalistani supporters would respect the Indian Tricolour if they knew its history.
The saffron band of the Tricolour represents strength and courage.
The white band symbolizes peace and truth with the Dharma Chakra.
The green band represents fertility, growth, and the sanctity of the land.
There is concern about changing Sikh symbols from saffron to yellow.
