Shivaji maharaj flag

Interestingly, the golden border of the octagon represents the Rajmudra of Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj, the legendary 16th century Maratha warrior, whose vision to establish a swarajya extended beyond the land borders of his empire and dominated the seas through his forts such as the Sindhudurg, Janjira and others.

Mumbai, Jun 2 (PTI) Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Friday said the life of Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj is a source of inspiration, and the work done by him, his policies as well as the system of governance he put in place continue to be relevant even today as welfare of people was the basic principle of his administration.

According to the PMO’s statement, the change in the Indian Naval ensign is a nod towards India’s move towards ‘Atmanirbharta’. Moreover, the step is the latest attempt to "move ahead," as part of the PM's efforts to dispose off India’s colonial past and history. At the 2022 Independence Day, Modi reinforced the need for steps like this, as he set out “an India free of colonial mindset” as one of New India’s Panch Pran in the Amrit Kaal. The Naval ensign saw a change in 2001. While the Tricolour was retained at the top left corner, Saint George’s Cross was replaced with the Indian Navy’s crest in the middle of the flag.
