It echoes in the hills of the Vindhyas and Himalayas,

The saving of all people waits in thy hand,
Thou Dispenser of India's destiny,
Victory, Victory, Victory to Thee.
NATIONAL ANTHEM HISTORICAL BACKGROUND

The Indian National anthem, composed originally in Bengali
by Rabindranath Tagore, was adopted in its Hindi version by

It was first sung 27 December 1911 at the Calcutta session of
the Indian National Congress. The complete song consists of
five stanzas.  The lyrics were rendered into English by
Tagore himself.

The first stanza( out of five stanzas) of the song forms the
National Anthem.  
Short Note on Indian National Anthem & National Flag
NATIONAL FLAG AND ITS COLOUR
SIGNIFICANCE

THE NATIONAL FLAG OF INDIA  is in
tricolour of deep saffron(Kesari) at the
top, white in the middle and dark green
at the bottom in equal propotions.

The flag is a horizontal tricolour in equal
proportion of deep saffron on the top,
white in the middle and dark green at the
bottom.

The ratio of the width to the length of the
flag is two is to three. In the centre of
the white band, there is a wheel in navy
blue to indicate the Dharma Chakra, the
wheel of law in the Sarnath Lion Capital.
Its diameter approximates the width of
the white band and it has 24 spokes.

The saffron stands for courage, sacrifice
and the spirit of renunciation;
the white, for purity and truth;
the green for faith and fertility.

The design of the National Flag was
adopted by India's constituent assembly
on 22nd july, 1947. It's use and display
are regulated by a code. The Indian flag
symbolizes freedom. The late Prime
Minister Pandit Nehru called it a flag not
only of freedom for ourselves, but a
symbol of freedom for all people.
