Ritesh explains the meaning of the colours of the National Flag:

• Saffron stands for sacrifice.
• White stands for peace.
• Green stands for prosperity.

The Ashoka Chakra is in the centre of the white stripe. It has 24 spokes, representing the 24 hours of the day.

The children also talk about Independence Day celebrations at school. There is a parade, the National Flag is hoisted and students sing the National Anthem.

They remember the sacrifices of freedom fighters such as Mahatma Gandhi, Sardar Patel, Subhash Chandra Bose and Bhagat Singh.

The lesson teaches us that we should help others, keep our surroundings clean, plant trees and respect elders. Shubhi decides to give her old toys and clothes to poor children.
