Indian National Flag: A Second Thought

There is no controvercy attached to this article but it is my second thought to current interpretation to the sovereignity to the Indian national flag and its history.

The color combination was profound in its nominations and have certainly a history which is a sympathetic bondage between age old Hindu-Muslim religious invasions of their own freedom of objective understanding in invidual domain of human life.
It was evident from the colors which were choosen by Indian National Congress at time of their representation to the people in fight against colonial rule. Althought it was a strong issue to fetch attention from our freedom fighters ;political as well as nationalists; to have a bridge between these two communities as it was due cause to the division of power against british rule.
And also only weapon left to the 'Firangi Sarkaar' to extend their presence in India as Ruler to this nations.
However, country divided into India and Pakistan for the settlement of people after british left the country and India founded under the rule of democratic powers, theoretically atleast.
Since it was Indian National Congress which is representing mass of India, I dont know under which theory; But It was their official flag which became the National flag of India after slight modification to its design and also the theoretical explanation to the color combination given by India's first vice president admitting that there is no communal feeling attached to it any more.
In his words
"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 "Ashok 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."

I'm trying to convince myself that how things can change with no change in things.
