Indian National Flag - the tricolor

2012-08-15T08:14:00.001+05:30

The flag was first designed by Pingali Venkayya, a writer and a geophysicist from Andhra Pradesh in 1916 based on the Swaraj flag. The color and the design had undergone some changes in 1921, 1931 and in 1947 the "Charkha" in the middle of the flag was replaced by the "Chakra", which is commonly known as the "Ashoka Chakra".

The flag should be made by the special hand-spun cloth called Khadi, popular after Mahatma Gandhi. The flag production and manufacturing rights are held by the Khadi Development and Village Industries Commission.

The following are the colors in the Indian national flag and their representations:
Saffron - It represents courage, sacrifice and patriotism.
White - The white color represents the path of truth which is lightened to guide our conduct
Green - The green color says about the fertility and prosperity of the land.
Ashoka Chakra - The Chakra should be of navy blue color with 24 spokes, it is also known as the wheel of law. The Chakra represents the continuity in the progress of the nation and the importance of the justice in a nation and in everyone's life.

When the flag was being designed, there were two religions in majority Hinduism and Islam and other religions being the minority.

The use and the way of the flag being displayed is defined by the law and shall be used as per the regulations of the law. The usage can't be modified by anyone in any case.

History of Christmas

2011-11-18T23:06:00.002+05:30

There are very few people in the world today who do not know what the Christmas holiday is all about.

The history of Christmas dates back over 4000 years. Many of the Christmas traditions were celebrated centuries before the Christ child was born. The 12 days of Christmas, the bright fires, the Yule log, the giving of gifts, carnivals (parades) with floats, carolers who sing while going from house to house, the holiday feasts, and the church processions can all be traced back to the early Mesopotamians. These traditions began with the Mesopotamian celebration of New Years. Christmas is a Christian holiday that celebrates the birth of Jesus Christ. No one knows the exact day of the Christ's birth it has never been pinpointed. Traditions say that it has been celebrated since the year 98 AD. In 137 AD the Bishop of Rome ordered the birthday of the Christ Child celebrated as a solemn feast. In 350 AD another Bishop of Rome, Julius I, choose 25th December as the observance of Christmas since than it is celebrated on this day around the world. Fundamentally Christmas celebration is based on the intertwining of two ethnic patterns, Roman transition rites and Germano-Celtic Yule (jiuleis) rites-feasting and mortuary practice.On this day, many go to church, where they take part in special religious services. During the Christmas season, they also exchange gifts and decorate their homes with holly, mistletoe, and Christmas trees.

The word Christmas comes from Cristes maesse, an early English phrase that means Mass of Christ.The first mention of 25th December as the birth date of Jesus occurred in 336 A.D. in an early Romancalendar. The celebration of Jesus's birth date as Christmas, was probably influenced by Pagan(unchristian) festivals held at that time. For most Christians, the Christmas season begins on the Sunday nearest 30th November. This date is the feast day of Saint Andrew, one of the 12 apostles of Christ.

The nearest Sunday is the first day of Advent, a four-week period during which Christians prepare forthe celebration of Christmas. The word advent means a coming and refers to the coming of Jesus onChristmas Day. For Christians, the Christmas season reaches its climax at midnight Mass or otherreligious services on Christmas Eve, which is the 'D' day of celebration. . Churches are decorated withcandles, lights, evergreen branches, and bright red poinsettias. People sing Christmas carols and listen to readings from the Gospels of Saint Luke and Saint Matthew. Priests and ministers speak to the congregations about the coming of Christ and the need for peace and understanding among all people.

Most churches also hold services on Christmas Day. The Christmas season ends on Epiphany, 6thJanuary. In Western Christian churches, Epiphany celebrates the coming of the Wise Men to the Christ child.

The first mention of 25th December as the birth date of Jesus occurred in 336 A.D. in an early Roman calendar. That day onwards this date is celebrated as the birth date of Jesus.

In India this festival has a special significance since India is known for its unity in diversity worldwide.The celebration of Christmas shows that even people from different religion takes part in Christmascelebration just as the Indian Christians do. And because of European influence on the country for so long the religion has spread across the country. The doctrines and philosophies of Christianity converted people of many sects to Christianity and today, there is a large Christian community thriving in India that has adopted the Christians festivals as a part of Indian culture as well. However, many of the rituals of these Christian festivals have been modified to suit the climatic conditions of the land.

Christmas is the most important festival of Indian Christians. Christians in India decorate banana or mango trees instead of traditional pine tree. They also light small oil-burning lamps as Christmas decorations and fill their churches with red flowers. As a part of their celebration they give Christmas gifts to their family members and token of money to poor people as charity. People decorate their houses and churches with poinsettia flowers for the midnight mass. In South India, the Christians put small clay lamps on the rooftops and walls of their houses at Christmas, just as the Hindus do during their festival called Diwali. In Goa, all hotels are jampacked during Christmas period and one must plan well in advance if planning a stay in one of the Goa hotels.
