News Mania Desk/Agnibeena Ghosh/14th August 2024
As part of the nationwide ‘Har Ghar Tiranga’ initiative, Home Minister Amit Shah proudly raised the Indian national flag at his residence in New Delhi on Wednesday. This campaign, which was launched two years ago following a call by Prime Minister Narendra Modi, encourages citizens to hoist the tricolour at their homes and share selfies on a government website, thereby instilling a sense of unity and patriotism across the country.
The ‘Har Ghar Tiranga’ campaign, which translates to “Every Home a Flag,” has seen widespread participation, with millions of citizens displaying the Indian flag on their rooftops, balconies, and windows. The movement is designed to commemorate India’s rich history of struggle for independence and to pay tribute to the countless heroes who sacrificed their lives for the nation. Amit Shah, through his gesture, reinforced this message, emphasizing the importance of remembering the sacrifices made by freedom fighters.
In a heartfelt message shared on X (formerly Twitter), Shah expressed the deep significance of the tricolour, stating, “Under Modi ji’s #HarGharTiranga campaign, the whole country is becoming tricoloured. Today, by hoisting the tricolour at my residence in New Delhi, I remembered the heroes who sacrificed everything for the country’s independence. The tricolour will continue to flutter for eternity as a symbol of unity, loyalty, and pride of crores of countrymen.”
Shah’s words resonate with the core of the ‘Har Ghar Tiranga’ campaign, which is not just about raising a flag, but about fostering a sense of belonging and pride among Indians. The tricolour, with its deep saffron, white, and green hues, along with the Ashoka Chakra in the center, stands as a powerful symbol of India’s unity and diversity. It represents the collective spirit of the nation, the struggles endured, and the progress made since independence.
The home minister’s call for active participation in the campaign highlights the ongoing effort to connect citizens with their nation’s history and values. By encouraging people to display the flag at their homes, the campaign aims to create a visual tapestry of patriotism that spans the entire country. This visual representation serves as a reminder of the freedoms enjoyed today and the responsibility each citizen holds in preserving those freedoms.
As India continues to celebrate its independence, the ‘Har Ghar Tiranga’ campaign serves as a poignant reminder of the nation’s journey and the sacrifices made along the way. The tricolour, fluttering proudly from homes across the country, symbolizes not just a piece of cloth, but the unity, loyalty, and pride of over a billion people.
The campaign’s success lies in its simplicity and the deep emotional connection Indians have with the national flag. By participating in this initiative, citizens are not only paying tribute to the past but also expressing their commitment to the future of the country. The campaign, which has grown in strength and participation since its inception, continues to inspire and unite the nation, one tricolour at a time.
