The Tri - color waving in the wind symbolises the assertion of the country's freedom; her triumphant call of sovereignty. The National flag is hoisted in the schools through out the country. It is put up on the rooftops of most houses and can even be found on the vehicles of many people. It is a national holiday so the people attend the schools and their offices only for the flag hoisting ceremony.In New Delhi, the capital of India, the Prime Minister addresses the Nation after the flag has been unfurled.
