Dear Student,
The following is the answer to your question
The present flag of India or the tricolour has indeed been in
use since independence It was based on the Swaraj flag of the
Congress and adopted on 22nd July, 1947 However, the flag did
undergo many modifications prior to the independence The flag of
British India contained the insignia of the British flag along with
the star of India Other flags incorporated religious symbols at the
time of the Swadeshi movement There was also a version of the flag
that had three colours including white, green and red along with
the charkha superimposed upon them THe swaraj flag was the closest
embodiment to the present day tricolour as it contained all the
elements and colours of the present flag except that the charkha
was present in place of the wheel
Hope this answers your query
Cheers
