Tiranga

Saffron stands for courage and sacrifice,
Provided by our fearless, able soldiers -
They gave their lives to save another,                            
Proud of dying for their motherland.

White symbolizes purity and truth,
Present in the hearts of all patriots –
It reminds our leaders to maintain peace
And harmony in our nation, grand.

Green is for progress, faith and joy,
And respect for our ‘Earth's green lungs’,
To duly protect what we proudly stand on -
Our nation, our soil, our sand.


And everytime we look at our flag,
We are filled with immense pride, 
Proud of supporting our Tricolour,
We shall always stand by its side.



18/7/15
For Judy’s Contest – Your Country/ State/City Flag
(INDIAN FLAG)
Our flag is called the Tricolour (Tiranga in an official language, Hindi)
