What is difference between flag hoisting and flag unfurling?

National celebrations like Republic Day and Independence day hold a great significance as it is an occasion when the people of the country celebrate and remember the great sacrifice of freedom fighters and nation builders. It is also the day when people are filled with great enthusiasm and patriotism.

On the occasion of Republic day people wait with great anticipation and enthusiasm about the grand Republic Day Parade, while on Independence Day citizens get to hear about the achievements of the nation through Prime Minister’s address the nation from the rampart of historic Red Fort. On both August 15 and January 26, the national flag is hoisted.

There is an important similarity between these two important event, yet they are a little different. There is a distinction between hoisting the flag on Independence Day and Republic Day because the customs for each day are different. While both the events honour and pay respect to the national flag and might look the same, but there is a distinction between the two events regarding how the flag should be raised.

The position of the flag also matters a lot. One can spot the difference in unfurling and hoisting in the positioning of the flag. When the national flag is hoisted on Independence Day, it is tied and sits at the bottom of the pole. It is the Prime Minister who raises the national flag up and hoists it with the aim to honour the historical event of the day.

Whereas, when the flag is unfurled on Republic Day, it is closed and tied at the top of the pole. The President unfurls it without pulling the flag up as it takes place on Independence Day. On Republic Day, the country celebrates the day when the Constitution was adopted.

• Prime Minister hoists National flag on Independence Day On Independence Day, the hoisting of the flag signifies the rise of a new nation, free from colonial domination.
• To raise the flag on Independence Day, August 15, a rope is pulled from below.
• Following that, it is unlatched and raised into place.

President Unfurls the Flag: The difference between the two ceremonies is because when India became Republic in 1960, it was already Independent and that’s why there was no reason to hoist the flag taking from bottom to top. Furthermore, on the first Independence Day in 1947, Independent India had no President.

Which country has the most flag changes?

Published on 19 August 2021 Updated on 07 September 2022 Afghanistan’s Independence Day (19 August) came only days after the Taliban seized control of capital Kabul. The entire world focused on the unfolding of events as the country fell into turmoil, following the flash US military withdrawal after 20 years in the country. Changes of flags are nothing new. In the 102 years of Afghanistan’s independence the nation’s national banners were changed 30 times. Only in 1919 it was changed 6 times. Various flags rippled for Afghanistan Emirate, Kingdom, Republic, Socialist Republic, and finally its Islamic State.

1. Frequent changes of flags in Afghan history is an illustration of a society in flux with almost constant instability.
2. This variety of flags also represents the diversity of Afghan society and a wide range of interests.
3. Thus, understanding flags, their symbolism, and their use is crucial in understanding politics and society.

Flags are the most condensed and vivid expression of identity. In addition, flags talk directly to people’s emotions and deeper need to belong and identify. People have and still fight and die under and for their flags.

Who has the newest flag?

Malawi and Libya both have flags that were recently adopted. Some countries have flags whose origins are so old that it is difficult to track its date of adoption. However, some countries have flags that were adopted only in recent memory. This could be because a country changed their flag design for political reasons (such as the case of Libya), or because a new country was formed (like the case of South Sudan).

GFP Hull Classifications: GlobalFirepower.com (GFP) takes a rather conventional approach to hull classifications regarding per-country naval assets.

Below are descriptions of each type considered: Aircraft Carriers These are either conventional- or nuclear-powered forms showcasing an expansive flight deck with hangar elevators for access. This surface is used for the launching and retrieval of fixed-wing aircraft (as a primary function) and rotorcraft (as a secondary function).

In modern navies, Aircraft Carriers represent the flagship of the fleet, making them vital assets. Only a few select nations maintain an aircraft carrier as part of their surface fleet. Helicopter Carriers The Helicopter Carrier primarily supports rotorcraft and may offer facilities for the operation of Vertical Take-Off and Landing (VTOL) fixed-wing aircraft such as the F-35 and AV-8B ‘jump jets’.

1. These vessels are typically dimensionally smaller when compared to their Aircraft Carrier brethren.
2. Provision for operating UAVs may also be seen in these vessel types.
3. Destroyers Destroyers are the largest named, non-carrier ship type in modern fleets (not including Cruisers which are used by only a few powers).

They are powerful, multi-mission oriented hulls with a broad array of sensors, processing systems, and weaponry and can support one or more rotorcraft from their included flight deck. Some forms are mission-specific, focusing on airspace deterrence or submarine hunting as primary roles.

Frigates Frigates are the economical answer to the Destroyer, given roughly the same Blue Water / deep water capabilities and broad weapons / mission set. Similarly, they can support rotorcraft and operate independently or as part of the main fighting fleet. Their hull design bridges the gap between the dimensionally larger Destroyer and the smaller Corvette.

Corvettes Corvettes typically represent the ‘smallest’ named vessels of the fleet. These are relatively compact hulls capable of operating in Blue Water environments as well as close-to-shore depending on draught depth. Corvettes can prove to be an economical measure for specific powers finding Frigate types out-of-scope and can also serve well those nations showcasing long-running coastlines.

Submarines Conventionally- (diesel-electric) and nuclear-powered submersible hull designs are grouped together in the GFP analysis. Additionally, there is no distinction made between dedicated-attack, ballistic missile, and nuclear-attack types. Compact ‘midget’ submarines are also included as they still form portions of some fleets (as is the case for North Korea and Iran).

Patrol Vessels The Patrol Vessel category is purposely broad and includes Offshore Patrol Vessel (OPV) types as well as gunboats, missile boats, fast-attack craft, and – in some cases – riverine assets. These boats are given shallow draughts for their specific operating environments and will typically serve as deterrent and enforcement assets in the grand scheme of the surface fleet.

Mine Warfare Mine Warfare and Mine / Countermine assets are a generally overlooked portion of any surface fleet but prove just as critical as other designs particularly in times of war where their capabilities allow for denial of strategic waterways or participation in ‘siege tactics’ against harbors and ports.

The GFP analysis reflects their importance in modern naval warfare. End-use products reflect a given nation’s ability to produce products through manufacturing, industry, and / or agriculture.
