Uff..EM. Now it's EM's turn to ask the question.
Was that a serious question mate?My next question is; when india became Republic of India.
I didn't know that the tri colour was designed in 1916, here is a bit of historyThe Indian national flag was designed in 1916 by Pingali Venkayya from Machilipatnam. The tricolour flag designed by him, with a charkha in the centre was adopted by the Congress committee in 1931 at Karachi.
On July 22, 1947, during an ad hoc meeting of the Constituent Assembly, it was approved as the National Flag of India with suitable modifications, wherein the Ashok Chakra was adopted in place of the charkha.
Our National Flag was desinged in 1916, but it was approved as our national flag in 1947
