    Solution

    The National Flag of India was officially adopted on July 22, 1947. Initially, the flag featured a spinning wheel (Charkha) symbolizing progress and self-reliance. In 1947, just before independence, the spinning wheel was replaced by the Dharma Chakra (Wheel of Dharma) of Emperor Ashoka, representing truth and life. This version is known as the Tiranga.
