"Hoist" "unfurl" What is the difference?
Very simple of All you posted on "words" commented my good old friend Deivasigamani R Sundharam
Yes , very simple question with very simple answer
Independence Day,
The national flag is tied at the bottom and then pulled up. The Prime Minister hoists the tricolor.
The day is to mark the historic event of Independence of the country from the British Rule. (கொடியேற்றுதல்)
Republic Day,
The flag is tied up on the top and is unfurled without pulling it up. This depicts that the country is already independent (பறக்க விடுதல்)
This is the answer given by many . and also found in net . So it has to be taken as right though there is no proof in support of this nor is disproved
So let me first congratulate greet and thank all those who sent correct answers:
M/S Chandrasekaran , Hasan Ali, Tata Panneer, Raviraj ,Hidayat, IS Peermuhamad ,Sivaramakrishnan ,Nasreen , Ganesh Subramanian and Ashraf Hameeda
(I have my own doubt. 1947 – our nation was freed and so flag was hoisted and on republic day it was unfurled because already a free nation. But even after 75 years why these different procedures? I will be thankful if anyone can come with a clarification
And I found some interesting information while searching the net, since it was a surprise, I am sharing with you.
One—on 15 08 1947 – the first independence day our tri color was NOT hoisted in Red fort but in Princess Park
Again on 16 08 47 the flag was hoisted in Red fort followed by address by Pundit Nehru in which he called himself Pratham Sewak – prime servant of the country
Two – I have seen in films the Union Jack (British Flag) being lowered on first Independence Day while our flag went up
But this DID NOT happen .Respecting the sentiments of British people their flag was NOT lowered down on 15 08 1947
And it was agreed that British flag will be flown for 12 days in a year on various occasions
One more news about Union Jack – In Calcutta which was previously capital of British India the Union Jack was lowered on 26 01 1975- yes after 27 years of Independence and replaced by Our Tricolor by Mr. S.M Abdullah Chairman , Garden Reach Municipality
Three – Red fort was not all in red in color
All these I got in net and I am sharing with you
