India’s Prime Minister Narendra Modi reveals a new ensign for the Indian Navy flag. The Cross of St. George is replaced with a brand new Naval Ensign.

Narendra Modi also put INS Vikrant into service.  INS Vikrant is a big step forward in India’s efforts to build a strong and self-sufficient defence industry at home. The warship was built with tools and machinery made in India.

What is the Indian Navy?

The Indian Navy is a defense force that is established to protect India’s sea and other coastal areas.

A naval ensign is a flag that is flown on top of naval warships, on ground stations, at air bases, and in other places where maritime identification is needed.

Indian Navy new ensign!

• On 2 September India’s Prime Minister Narendra Modi revealed a new ensign for the Indian Navy.
• The Indian naval ensign also goes by the name “Nishaan,” which means “symbol” in English.
• Nishaan takes its namesake from the legendary Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj, Emperor of the Marathas.
• The Prime Minister’s Office says that Nishaan is India’s way of burying its colonial past.
• Political experts say that people have asked for a long time to make the Naval ensign more Indian.
• Also, it had to be less of a reminder of India’s colonial past.

Indian Navy ensign over the years!

• In 1950, the Crown in the naval crest is replaced by the Ashokan Lion as the emblem of the Indian Navy.
• In the year 2001, the St. George’s Cross as its crest changed to navy blue colour.
• In 2004 an Ashoka symbol is placed at the point where the cross’s arms intersected.
• In the year 2014, the phrase “Satyameva Jayate” is added to the Ashok Emblem.
