The National Flag is a symbol of the Nation's respect and pride.

There is a liberal use of the flag on Independence Day and Republic day.
There is a new trend of selling flags made up of paper and plastic, which
is incorrect. The Indian National flag for the Indians, isn't pride, Its
just worth 5 Rupees and that's all. people enthusiastically buy such flags
but the very next day, we find it on the road sides stepping and stamping.
With a sense of national pride, these flags being trampled upon the road,
in dustbins and elsewhere.
The respect and patriotism that the country earns is shown towards that
countrys flag. The respective given to the flag of a country is the same
as the respect given to the respective country. The flag is more
respected and seen as higher than the leaders, government, and forces of
that country. This is why at every special event the flag is raised and
honored by the leaders, government, armed forces, and the citizens of
that country.

I appeal all Indians that on coming August 15th refrain from buying a
paper or plastic flag instead join your school or society gathering in
hoisting the national flag. On August 15th if the entire nation hoists the
flag in this way no tricolor will be disrespected on the following day
