- Mumbai Chhatrapati Shivaji Int'l - VABB, India
Mumbai Airport (CSIA Mumbai) Terminal 2, sports the Indian tricolor on the occasion of India's 68th Independence Day on 15th August 2014. Also on the right is the Indian flag which is a permanent fixture at the T2. Due to car-parking, I missed the first saffron pillar.
The National Flag of India is a horizontal rectangular tricolour of deep saffron, white and India green; with the Ashoka Chakra, a 24-spoke wheel, in navy blue at its centre. It was adopted in its present form during a meeting of the Constituent Assembly held on 22 July 1947, when it became the official flag of the Dominion of India.
The saffron colour denotes renunciation of disinterestedness. Our leaders must be indifferent to material gains and dedicate themselves to their work. The white in the centre is light, the path of truth to guide our conduct. The green shows our relation to (the) soil, our relation to the plant life here, on which all other life depends. The "Ashoka Chakra" in the centre of the white is the wheel of the law of dharma. Satya(truth), dharma (virtue) ought to be the controlling principle of those who work under this flag. Again, the wheel denotes motion. There is death in stagnation. There is life in movement. India should no more resist change, it must move and go forward. The wheel represents the dynamism of a peaceful change.
