About the Book:
This deeply researched and elegantly written work traces the extraordinary journey of India’s national flag—from ancient symbols and early nationalist banners to the adoption of the tricolour by the Constituent Assembly in 1947. Authored by acclaimed writer and former diplomat Navtej Sarna, the book blends history, law, and national consciousness to explain how a piece of cloth evolved into a sacred national symbol.
