Our Symbol of Unity

Our Tiranga. . The Symbol of Unity.
A thought. Ref my Earlier blog. According to excavating evidences. . Hindus came first to this land. And saffron was their chosen colour. Then came Muslims. Invaded and mingled and it became difficult to identify which was which. So the pandits and mullas decided to Brand them into groups easy to identify. . And lead into warring oblivion. Hence the vermilion streaked foreheads and centre parted hair. .and the black veils and pointed beards. Its so simple if one looks at it objectively. One people. One God. Diverse interpretations.
Then followed the british. Never to be left on the outside. A force to reckon with. Master of all they surveyed. And then of course came our history. And independence. And Partition. The two colours divided and were torn apart. . As were the people. In tearing agony.
But ever thought about our Tiranga?
Saffron at the top. The Hindus did come here first. The Green at the base. The Muslims came next. And also belonged. The White in the middle. With the royal blue chakra. . Attempting to built bridges of PEACE AND PROGRESS between the two.
