Even after having spent close to two thirds of my lifetime, I didn’t know on #26thJanuary the national flag is

The logic behind this is that on 15th August the flag is tied to the bottom of the pole, it is lifted up to the top and then hoisted.
To symbolise the #struggle for independence while lifting it up the pole and then celebrating independence by hoisting it.

While on 26th January India became an independent republic!
On the top now , free from the clutches of years of foreign occupation !
Thus the flag is tied to the top of the pole and not at the bottom as on 15th August.
Hence the Flag is UNFURLED!

(1/n) Another reason why I love Sanatan scriptures because these are the only scriptures which tells us to love one's country i.e Bharatha varsha. It also mentions how one is lucky to be born on this land and how even the devtãs wishes to be born on this land.
(2/n) This is from Vishnu puran Part 2 Chapter 3rd...Later chapters also mentions the geographical features of “Bharatha varsha” 
(3/n) I am luck to be born on this land, I am lucky to have such ancestors....
This motherland is like a heaven to me.
HAPPY INDEPENDENCE DAY TO ALL

I don't know who created this funny Whatsapp forward that's spread like wildfire amongst people from #Kalimpong. But it has made me start a thread to share a few things you might not know about how my hometown in the hills celebrates our #IndependenceDay #FitinAugust #PondaAugus
While the rest of the country celebrates our #IndependenceDay on the 15th of August, we #Kalimpong folks need 3 WHOLE DAYS! If you gotta party, party like you mean it!

I don't think there's ever been a #FitinAugust celebration in #Kalimpong without the Singhi (Snow Lion) & Yak Dance presented by the Indo Tibetan Buddhist Cultural Institute, Kalimpong. #PondaAugus. #IndpendenceDay #15thAugust #India Photo Courtesy: Praveen Chettri
