#HappyIndependenceDay #India & #Pakistan
Let us also not forget the sorrow of the Partition into India & Pakistan.
As millions got displaced by the worlds biggest known human migration with over a million dead, the birth of the new nations saw new flags: 'Tricolour' #IndianFlag & 'Green & White' Pakistani flag.A coincidence that this c1760 AD #Pahari #IndianMiniaturePainting from #Guler #HimachalPradesh now at British #Museum depicts the Flags colours!

#15August #HappyIndependenceDay #RepublicOfIndia
As we #Celebrate our 76th #IndependenceDay today here is the symbol of our #Democracy the #Buddhist Dharam Chakra (Wheel of Law) which is the centre of the #IndianFlag
It has 24 spokes representing the 24 Rishis of #Himalayas. It also represents Time (24 hours of the day) to signify that #India is constantly changing & marching ahead.
This 2nd century #Budhism Dharam Chakra comes from Amaravati in #AndharaPradesh & was on a Christies sale.
