Why is the Indian flag hoisted on Independence Day but unfurled on Republic Day?
The unfurling and hoisting of National Flag carry different symbolic meanings on India's national days. On Independence Day (August 15), the PM hoists it from base to top, signifying freedom from colonial rule. On Republic Day (January 26), the President unfurls the flag, which is tied at the top. It symbolises the nation's reaffirmation of its commitment to the Constitution.
