The Indian National Flag has sailed through vicissitudes of time and several political and national developments to reach its present form and design. 

 India@75 | The several milestones in the evolution of the Indian Flag

The Indian National Flag has sailed through vicissitudes of time and several political and national&nbsp;developments to reach its present form and design.&nbsp;

The Indian National Flag has sailed through vicissitudes of time and several political and national&nbsp;developments to reach its present form and design.&nbsp;

75 Years of Independence: A patriotic feeling and euphoria overcomes Indians every time our National Flag is hoisted. It is not only a symbol of pride and mark of a free country but is also recognised as something to live and to die for.&nbsp;
Saffron at the top, white in the middle with the navy blue chakra (wheel) and green at the bottom- this is how we know the tricolour today.
Little do we know that the Indian National Flag has sailed through vicissitudes of time and several political and national&nbsp;developments.&nbsp;
Let's take a look at how its changed through time to become the tricolour we now know:
The first Flag was hoisted on August 7th, 1906 in the Parsee Bagan Square in Calcutta (now Kolkata). Believed to have been designed by freedom activists Sachindra&nbsp;Prasad Bose and Hemchandra Kanungo, the flag had horizontal stripes of red, yellow and green, with Vande Mataram written in the middle. The red stripe had symbols of the sun and a crescent moon while the green stripe had eight half-open lotuses.&nbsp;
The second Flag was very similar to the first flag but the top band had seven stars denoting the Saptarishi. This flag was hoisted in&nbsp;Paris by Madame Cama and exiled revolutionaries in 1907.&nbsp;
The third Flag was hoisted in 1917 by Dr Annie Besant and Lokmanya Tilak during the Home rule movement. The flag constituted of&nbsp;five red and four green horizontal stripes with seven stars in Saptarishi formation.&nbsp;
The fourth Flag was adopted in 1921 and comprised of two colours- red and green- representing the Hindu and Muslim communities.&nbsp;Mahatama Gandhi added the white stripe representing the rest of the communities and the spinning wheel as a mark of the nation's progress.&nbsp;
The fifth Flag was initially the battle ensign of the Indian National Army. In 1931, a resolution was passed for the adoption of the tricolour as&nbsp;the National Flag. The flag featured stripes of saffron, white and green with Mahatama Gandhi's spinning wheel at the center.&nbsp;
The sixth flag was similar to the one designed in 1931, except the Dharma Charkha of Emperor Ashoka replaced the spinning wheel. On July 22, 1947, it was adopted as the Free India National Flag. This variation of the flag is how we know our National Flag today.&nbsp;

Independence Day 2021: History & evolution of Indian fashion from 1960s to 2010s

As India celebrates more than seven decades of Independence from the British Raj, let&rsquo;s go through the changing fashion tastes of free Indians over the last seven decades.

India@75 | Evolution of Indian fashion through the decades: 1960s to 2010s

///Simplicity of the &lsquo;50s
Patriotism-filled 1950 were all about hand-spun textiles
Fashion was largely functional with hints of European influences
///Colourful spirit of the &lsquo;60s
Top trends:&nbsp;body-hugging churidar suits, shorter blouses &amp; lots of colour

Top trends: bell-bottoms, cropped shirts, oversized glasses, polka dots
///Vivid creativity of the &lsquo;80s
Top trends: blingy ornaments,&nbsp;shoulder pads, gaudy colours,&nbsp;unruly hair

Bhanu&nbsp;Adhaiya won's&nbsp;India's first Costume Oscar for Gandhi

Top trends:&nbsp;micro bags, sheer tops, sweatshirts, cycling shorts
The next decade? More inclusive &amp; big on tech advancements

As India celebrates more than seven decades of Independence from the British Raj, let&rsquo;s go through the changing fashion tastes of free Indians over the last seven decades.

Independence Day 2021:&nbsp;What we choose to wear every day says far more about our culture than we realise. Just like our politics, occupations and way of life, our clothing styles have also evolved over the years.
As India celebrates more than seven decades of Independence from the British Raj, let&rsquo;s go through the changing fashion tastes of free Indians over the last seven decades.

Simplicity of the &lsquo;50s
Consumed by the fresh scent of freedom, the 1950s had a strong flavour of patriotism. The hand-spun khadi symbolised the swadeshi movement. Cloth sarees draped in different styles or simple salwar suits dominated the scene.
The fashion was largely functional and hints of European influences, especially in menswear, could also be observed. Women like Maharani Gayatri Devi, and Hindi cinema&rsquo;s Nargis, Nutan, Suraiya and Meena Kumari were the fashion icons of this era.
Colourful spirit of the &lsquo;60s
The 1960s was the decade that brought us Madhubala&rsquo;s Anarkali suit and the tiered orange saree on Mumtaz. Moving into a new decade, women&rsquo;s clothing became more fashionable and everyone embraced bright colours and prints.&nbsp;
With body-hugging churidar suits, shorter blouses and a hint of skin on display, the &lsquo;60s were also big on embracing curves. Not to forget, the poufy hairdos, winged eyeliner and the uber-popular Sadhna cut were also from this decade.
Hippie trippy vibe of the &lsquo;70s
Dubbed the &lsquo;decade of decadence&rsquo;, the 1970s were huge for fashion. The decade gave us Dimple Kapadia's iconic polka-dotted blouse in Bobby, Zeenat Aman's hippie look from Hare Rama Hare Krishna, Parveen Babi&rsquo;s scant bikini and Helen&rsquo;s iconic Cabaret feathers. Bell-bottoms, cropped shirts, oversized glasses, platform heels and polka dots were just some of the most memorable trends from this era.
Vivid creativity of the &lsquo;80s
The 1980s were all about the over the top (or OTT) vibe. Blingy ornamentation, big shoulder pads, gaudy colours, metallics, unruly hair and leg warmers &ndash; there was a lot happening in this decade. But this decade also birthed the first generation of Indian fashion designers like Rohit Khosla and Satya Paul.
Bhanu Athaiya won India&rsquo;s first and only Oscar for costume design in 1983 and the National Institute of Fashion Technology was set up in 1986. In Bollywood, Sri Devi and Rekha were the heroines leading the fashion scene.

Cool girls &amp; boys of the &lsquo;90s
The decade that birthed Indipop stars like Alisha Chinai and cult films like Kuch Kuch Hota Hai and Dil Toh Pagal Hai, the 1990s created trends that are still big today. From denim shirts, crop tops, chokers, co-ordinates and overalls to chiffon sarees and oversized shirts, we saw it all in the &lsquo;90s. And leading ladies like Karisma Kapoor, Madhuri Dixit and Kajol, often styled by Manish Malhotra, became the style icons of this period.
Fashion forward face of the &lsquo;00s
The aughts or the 2000s saw many international fashion brands opening up stores in India. Sporting the latest styles and trends was no longer limited to people who had connections abroad. Following in her sister&rsquo;s footsteps, Kareena Kapoor warmed things up with characters like Poo and Jab We Met&rsquo;s Geet.
Super-fitted pieces like tube tops and micro-minis as well as desi fusion outfits defined this overtly sexy&nbsp;decade.
Comfortable mood of the &lsquo;10s
Moving on to the most recent period, the 2010s gave us social media and influencers! We slowly said goodbye to super sexy clothes and welcomed athleisure with open arms. The focus shifted away from celebrity trends and street style gained more steam.
Micro bags, sheer tops, oversized sweatshirts and cycling shorts were the viral trends from the period. Bloggers and Instagram-famous supermodels were the biggest trendsetters.
As the last decade comes to a close amidst a full-blown pandemic, the focus remains on comfort and clothes that look good on social media. The next decade in fashion is poised to be more inclusive and focussed on technological advancements such as smart fabrics and digital-only clothes.

India@75 must remember and celebrate the undaunted spirit of some of the unsung and forgotten women freedom fighters who have sadly faded into oblivion. 

India@75: A tribute to the unsung and forgotten women freedom fighters of India

India@75 must remember and celebrate the&nbsp;undaunted spirit of some of the unsung and forgotten women freedom fighters who played a significant role in India&rsquo;s independence but have sadly faded into oblivion.

India@75: A tribute to the unsung women freedom fighters of India

India@75 must remember and celebrate the&nbsp;undaunted spirit of some of the unsung and forgotten women freedom fighters who played a significant role in India&rsquo;s independence but have sadly faded into oblivion.

Independence Day 2021:&nbsp;Every&nbsp;Independence Day, with hearts full of pride and patriotism, Indians like to take a trip down the historical lane and celebrate numerous freedom fighters. To give recognition to these heroes&nbsp;many&nbsp;movies have been created and books been written on male freedom fighters,&nbsp;like&nbsp;Bhagat&nbsp;Singh,&nbsp;Chandrashekhar&nbsp;Azad&nbsp;and&nbsp;Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose, but in comparison, there are not as many dedications towards&nbsp;their female counterparts.&nbsp;&nbsp;
Innumerable women freedom fighters were an active part of the independence&nbsp;struggle,&nbsp;but they have long been omitted from popular historic narratives.&nbsp;Here&rsquo;s celebrating the undaunted spirit of some of the unsung and forgotten women who played a significant role in India&rsquo;s independence but have sadly faded into oblivion.
Tara Rani Srivastava
Tara Rani Srivastava, who was born in Saran, Bihar, actively participated with her husband Phulendu Babu in the Quit India Movement. During one of the demonstrations, they managed to gather a crowd outside the Siwan Police station to hoist the Indian flag. Even when Phulendu was shot, Tara Rani bandaged his wounds and continued to march undeterred and with undaunting courage.
Captain Lakshmi Sahgal
Captain Lakshmi Sahgal was born in Madras and shall forever be remembered as an ardent freedom fighter. She was an officer of the Indian National Army (INA) and played a key role in the establishment of a women&rsquo;s regiment known as the Rani of Jhansi Regiment.
Rajkumari Gupta
Rajkumari Gupta was born in Kanpur and went on to work in close association with Chandrashekhar Azad. She played a key role in the Kakori dacoity, as she was the one who helped supply guns, revolvers and even messages.
Matangini Hazra
Matangini Hazra was born in a village named Hogla, near Tamluk in West Bengal. She was an active participant in both the Quit India Movement and the Non-Cooperation Movement. During one of the incidents, she continued to march even after having been shot. The braveheart continued to show undeterred courage and determination through all odds.
All these women and many such more were filled with the hope of freedom and socio-economic emancipation. With no greed for fame or recognition, they continued to fight against the great political odds faced by India during the British Raj. Even after 75 years of Independence, their efforts shall continue to kindle respect and pride in our hearts for years to come. &nbsp;

Talking about a few things which unite Indians and not mentioning the role of sports isn't possible. As India celebrates its 75th Independence Day, we have dug&nbsp;out&nbsp;5 most glorious sporting moments in Indian history.
1983 World Cup
During an era that was dominated by hockey, Indians weren't taken seriously in other sports. That changed in 1983 as against all odds,&nbsp;Kapil's&nbsp;Devils did the unthinkable and beat won the cricket World Cup for the very first time. They not only ended West Indies' winning streak in the final, but gave the nation another sport to bite on. The iconic picture of Kapil&nbsp;Dev lifting the World Cup in Lord's still remains one of the most influential photos in Indian cricket as it laid the foundation of India becoming a cricketing superpower.
2007 World Cup
If the 1983 World Cup taught India how to win at the biggest stage, the 2007 World T20 infused aggression into the young crop of cricketers. India was coming off a heartbreaking loss in the ODI&nbsp;World Cup and with senior players opting out of the World T20, not many gave India a fighting chance. But apart from winning the tournament, it also saw the rise of a leader in MS Dhoni, and rest as they say is history.&nbsp;Victory at the first-ever World cup of the shortest format in South Africa meant that Indian fans were ready to consume more of T20 cricket, hence the Indian Premier League was born.&nbsp;
2011 World Cup
The year was 2011, the ODI World Cup was happening in the sub-continent and there couldn't have been a better opportunity for MS Dhoni&nbsp;and his men to give India a taste of the World Cup trophy which they had won 28 years ago. Team India lived up to its hype and defeated Sri&nbsp;Lanka in the final at the Wankhede&nbsp;to become the first team in history to win the World Cup in their own backyard. The win was a&nbsp;perfect farewell for Sachin&nbsp;Tendulkar&nbsp;who was playing his last World Cup.
Neeraj Chopra
While Indians have always had an emotional connect with cricket, another area which triggers their patriotic side are the Olympics. Apart from hockey, India didn't dominate any other sport at the Games, let alone winning a track and field medal. Despite doing good in shooting, wrestling, boxing and badminton, an Olympic medal in athletics always eluded India. That changed in 2021 and how. Neeraj&nbsp;Chopra not only went on to finish at the podium in men's javelin throw but did it in style by clinching Gold. It also proved to be India's 2nd Olympic Gold in an individual event.
Viswanathan Anand
One man who never got the amount of appreciation which he deserved in revolutionising&nbsp;Indian sports is chess maestro&nbsp;Viswanathan Anand. He not only put India on the World chess map but gave nightmares to his opponents. Just to list a few of his many records:

Became the youngest Indian to win the title of International Master at the age of 15
A year later, he became the national chess champion and repeated it a couple more times
In 1988, he became India&rsquo;s 1st Grandmaster
First Indian to become World Champion in 2000
Dominated World Chess from 2007 to 2013&nbsp;and won the World Chess Championship 5 times.

Apart from being the first Indian sports player in history to get the Padma Vibhushan award in 2007, Viswanathan Anand was also the first recipient of India&rsquo;s highest sporting honour, the&nbsp;Rajiv Gandhi Khel Ratna Award in 1991.

Reducing size of farm lands a challenge for agriculture, says Prime Minister in his Independence Day speech.&nbsp;

Stressing that shrinking farm sizes is a challenge, Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Sunday said there is a need to give maximum benefits of government schemes to small farmers who account for more than 80 per cent of the farming community.
"We need to focus on major challenges facing the agriculture sector. One challenge is that shrinking farm sizes in villages," Modi said during his Independence Day speech here.
The farm land is shrinking because of increasing population and division of families, he said.
