Gujarat Chief Minister Bhupendra Patel has urged the people of the state to adopt the slogan ‘Har Dil Tiranga’ instead of the widely used ‘Har Ghar Tiranga’. He said that the flag should symbolize a patriotic spirit that resides in the hearts of citizens, rather than merely being displayed at homes.
Patel made the statement on a social media platform, stressing that the true essence of the tricolor is felt in one’s emotions and not just in its physical presence. He added that a flag carried in the heart would inspire a deeper sense of national pride.
The call comes as the state prepares for the 75th Independence Day celebrations. Patel’s remarks are part of a broader effort by the government to promote patriotic sentiments across Gujarat.
The chief minister’s proposal has sparked discussion among political analysts and the public about the symbolism of national flags and the role of emotional patriotism in contemporary India.
