- Namaste (Sanskrit: नमस्ते , Hindustani pronunciation: [nʌmʌsˈteː], from external Sandhi between namaḥ and te) is a common spoken greeting or salutation in South Asia. It has multi-religious or else common usage where it may simply mean "I bow to you." The word is derived from Sanskrit namas , to bow, obeisance, reverential salutation, and te , "to you".[1] When spoken to another person, it is commonly accompanied by a slight bow made with hands pressed together, palms touching and fingers pointed upwards, in front of the chest.
- The flag is a horizontal tricolour of "deep saffron" at the top, white in the middle, and green at the bottom. In the centre, there is a navy blue wheel with twenty-four spokes, known as the Ashoka Chakra , taken from the Lion Capital of Asoka erected atop Ashoka pillar at Sarnath. Originally, Gandhi was presented with a flag with two colors, red for the Hindus, and green for the Muslims. In the centre a traditional spinning wheel was suggested, which was associated with Gandhi's goal of making Indians self-reliant by fabricating their own clothing. Bhagwa or the saffron colour denotes renunciation or disinterestedness. Our leaders must be indifferent to material gains and dedicate themselves to their work. The white in the centre is light, the path of truth to guide our conduct. The green shows our relation to (the) soil, our relation to the plant life here, on which all other life depends. The "Ashoka Chakra" in the centre of the white is the wheel of the law of dharma. Truth or satya , dharma or virtue ought to be the controlling principle of those who work under this flag. Again, the wheel denotes motion. There is death in stagnation. There is life in movement. India should no more resist change, it must move and go forward. The wheel represents the dynamism of a peaceful change.
