The saffron stands for courage, sacrifice and the spirit of renunciation. The white, is meant for purity and truth.
The green is for faith and fertility.
The navy blue wheel denotes the continuity of the nation's progress which is deemed to be as boundless as the blue sky and as fathomless as the deep blue sea.

We owe a lot to the Indians, who taught us how to count, without which
no worthwhile scientific discovery could have been made.
-Albert Einstein
India is,the cradle of the human race,the birthplace of human speech,
the mother of history,the grandmother of legend, and the great grand mother
of tradition.Our most valuable and most instructive materials in the
history of man are treasured up in India only.

Elephant and not Tiger
■ India got democracy before capitalism and this has made all the difference
■ It is slower than China but its path is surer
■ However, an elephant at 8% growth is a formidable beast
■ We have waited 3000 years for this moment
■ India is more likely to preserve its way of life
