From Bal Gangadhar Tilak to Mahatma Gandhi, leaders used the flag to inspire masses. The spinning wheel version of the flag became a call for swadeshi, self-reliance, and dignity

The Flag in Movements & Marches

The Tiranga was present during the Quit India Movement, Dandi March, and numerous student and youth-led protests. Many brave Indians even sacrificed their lives while trying to hoist it in forbidden zones
