The modern '''[[Republic of India]]''' ([[Hindi]]:{{lang|hi|भारत के राष्‍ट्रीय चिन्ह}}); has several official '''[[National symbols]]''' including a historical document, a flag, an emblem, an anthem, a memorial tower as well as several national heroes. All the symbols were picked up at various times. The design of the national flag was officially adopted by the Constituent Assembly just 21 days before Independence, on the 24th of July in 1947. There are also several other patriotic symbols including the national animal, bird, fruit, flower and tree... have all been selected carefully to project the image of India at its best. They are chosen to reflect Indian culture and beliefs and also the positive at - tributes often associated with Indian traditions respectively.
