Chapter 19 - Some Serious Planning-II (flag)

As I pondered these thoughts, I realized that I needed to create something tangible, something that would unite us in every sense.

Visually, we would need a flag—a symbol of unity that could flutter in the wind, representing all of us, regardless of our backgrounds. It should incorporate elements from every region, colours that symbolize our shared history and aspirations, something we could all rally behind.

For our minds, we would have stories and poems—narratives that could echo through generations, tales of heroism and sacrifice that remind us of our shared struggles and victories. These stories would inspire courage and resilience, becoming a part of our collective identity.

To reach our hearts, we would need songs—melodies that could be sung in unison, creating a sense of belonging and camaraderie. They would capture our hopes, dreams, and the spirit of freedom we all yearned for, allowing us to feel connected no matter the distance between us.

As I thought of these elements, I also began to consider what specific things would resonate with our people. What symbols would evoke pride? What stories would touch the hearts of the diverse inhabitants of our land?

Would it be the tales of legendary warriors whose bravery inspired generations? Or perhaps songs that reflect the beauty of our landscapes, the love for our soil? Every piece would need to carry weight and meaning.

These thoughts swirled in my mind as I set my pen to paper, determined to draft a plan that could truly unite our people.

Before moving to songs and poems I decided to come up with a flag, a flag that helps unite us even if we are in different parts of India a flag that will unite us even if we don't share the same language it passes all the barriers that are set to break us apart and truly unite us.

After a lot of contemplation and going through various designs, I reached a conclusion about our symbol of unity. I decided to use the tricolour flag, a representation of our diverse yet unified land. However, instead of just Ashoka Chakra, which signifies the law of Dharma, I would place it with the Lion of Ashoka on top of it with two adjacent lions to the chakra.

The Lion, a symbol of power and authority, resonated deeply with my vision for India. In my eyes, India should be the most powerful country, not just in terms of military might, but also in spirit, culture, and unity. The Lion would stand as a reminder of our strength, our capability to rise above challenges, and our determination to reclaim our rightful place in the world.

This new flag would not only serve as a visual representation of our collective identity but also encapsulate the essence of what we were striving for a unified nation that embraced its diversity while standing strong against external oppression.

With this decision made, I felt a renewed sense of purpose. The flag would be a rallying point, a symbol under which all could gather, regardless of their backgrounds, to fight for a common future.
