It also addresses the question of how to read this symbolic space as a contested field and analyses the "cultural practices" underlying political questions in colonial and post-colonial India. The author explores three historical periods in the history of the national flag - the flag satyagraha (1922-23), the constituent assembly debate on the design of the flag and the period between 1997 and 2002 when important decisions regarding the use of the tricolour were taken. - Reproduced.  aNational Flag  aEconomic and Political Weekly  aN  a80012  c80012d80012  00104070aIIPAbIIPAd2018-07-19hVolume no: 43, Issue no: 43pAR80472r2018-07-19w2018-07-19yAR
