Question

The National Flag of India was designed by

• A. Mahatma Gandhi
• B. Jawaharlal Nehru
• C. Rabindra Nath Tagore
• D. Pingali Venkayya

Answer 1

The Correct Option is D

The National Flag of India, an emblematic symbol of the country's independence, was designed by Pingali Venkayya. Born on August 2, 1876, Venkayya was a fervent freedom fighter and an esteemed individual. His design emerged as the chosen prototype influenced by the Indian National Congress, leading to the flag's adoption on July 22, 1947. The flag consists of three color bands: saffron at the top, white in the middle featuring a navy blue Ashoka Chakra with 24 spokes, and green at the bottom. Pingali Venkayya's conception was pivotal in symbolizing India's aspirations for unity, peace, and growth. Among the options provided: 

Mahatma Gandhi: Known for leading the Indian independence movement with a philosophy of non-violence, however, he did not design the flag.

Jawaharlal Nehru: The first Prime Minister of India and a central figure in its independence struggle, but not the designer of the flag.

Rabindra Nath Tagore: A distinguished poet and the composer of India's national anthem, but unrelated to the flag's design.

The correct answer is Pingali Venkayya.
