“The feeling that the Tiranga gives to all of us, should be something that travels with us through life. The feelings that: India is great; India is the best; We are all Indians; and that we are lucky to have been born in this country — should be within our soul and the tiranga must be embedded in our hearts always and forever! We should be so proud of our national flag, this symbol which we have got after hundreds of years of sacrifice, slavery, tragedy and struggle. The flag symbolises our history, our culture, our achievements and aspirations for the times to come,” shared Colonel VN Thapar about the show, which he feels has a unique story to tell.
