The country’s It has been reported that Prime Minister Narendra Modi will commission INS Vikrant at Cochin Shipyard Limited in Kochi and during the event, he will also “unveil the new Naval Ensign (Nishaan), doing away with the colonial past”. We take a closer look at what a naval ensign means, what changes has the Indian Naval ensign seen and why India is choosing to change the ensign now. How India has one-upped China with its dual aircraft-carrier exercise Deals on drones and jets: How India-US defence ties are flourishing under PM Modi What is a naval ensign? Simply put, a naval ensign is the flag that is hoisted atop all naval installations, including naval warships, ground stations and naval air bases. Each country’s navy has its own ensign; the US Navy’s ensign is the same as the national flag, but many other navies have distinctive naval ensigns which are “worn” by their war vessels. India’s naval ensign The Indian Navy draws its origin to the colonial period. According to the Indian Navy website, on 2 October 1934, the naval service was renamed Royal Indian Navy with its headquarters at Bombay (now Mumbai). When India became a Republic in 1950, the prefix ‘Royal’ was dropped and it was rechristened as the Indian Navy. The current ensign of the Indian Navy is a white flag with horizontal and vertical red stripes, symbolising the Cross of Saint George, with the emblem of India supe...

Indian Navy New Naval Ensign: The former ensign that the new one has replaced today, carried a Saint George’s Cross with the Tricolour in the canton, a remnant of the pre-Independence colonial era when the Indian Navy's ensign bore a George’s Cross on a white background with the Union Jack of the United Kingdom on the top left corner. It was only when India became a republic on January 26, 1950 that the leaders decided to do away with colonial hangover in the symbols and switched to the one that bore a more Indian look and feel to it. Hence, the Navy crest and flag were changed. However, the only difference the makers made was to replace the Union Jack with the Tricolour — St George’s Cross was retained. And then in 2001, another change was made when the George’s Cross was removed and the naval crest replaced it in the middle of the white flag. The Tricolour retained its place on the top left corner. The original suggestion for this design change came from Vice Admiral VEC Barboza who retired from the Navy as the Flag Officer Commanding-in-Chief Western Naval Command. However, this design wasn’t to last. Following complaints of the new flag being indistinguishable —the blue colour of the Navy crest merged with the skies and the sea — there was another design change in 2014. This time, they reverted to the St George’s Cross with the National Emblem in the middle of the cross and the Tricolour in the canton. In 2014, words of the national motto — ‘Satyamev Jayate’ — in Devan...
