New Delhi: Today, we are celebrating the 75th Independence Day. Prime Minister Narendra Modi will hoist the national flag at Red Fort and will address the nation. To mark the Independence Day, people across the country hoist the national flag.
On this occasion, it is important to know the difference between ‘hoisting’ the flag on Independence Day and ‘unfurling’ it on Republic Day .
The hoisting of the flag signifies the rise of a new nation. Whereas on Republic Day, the flag is already on top of the flag pole and signifies that it is a free nation. A flag of a free nation cannot stay at half-mast on a day as important as Republic Day.
