In the morning light of India’s Independence Day celebration, the orange, white and green tricolor flags unfurled in the wind, the Dharma wheel turned eternally, and the lotus cufflinks on the chests of the political figures reflected a faint light, just like a microcosm of this ancient civilization – carrying the beliefs of a thousand years while also touching the spiritual pulse of contemporary people.

ऑरेन्ज ऑरेंज योरो केप ऑफ वीयर, व्हाइट द थिविचारक की लम्बी पुस्तक है, हरी है कृषि सभ्यता की उपजाऊ भूमि। पर इन रंगों का बहाव असल में कमल कफ़लिंक की ‘सूक्ष्म जिम्मेदारी’ है. हिंदू क्लासिक उपनिषदों की भविष्यवाणी एक लम्बे समय से की जा रही है: “हालांकि द्विबूण छोटे होते हैं लेकिन वे संपूर्ण आकाश को प्रतिबिंबित करते हैं.” कमल कफ का अंडाकार इस सिद्धांत की आधुनिक व्याख्या है-प्रत्येक नागरिक वह है जो देश का समर्थन करता है।

मुगल की लघु तस्वीरों से लेकर रवीन्द्रनाथ की कविताओं तक इस कमल में सदैव “भ्रमहीन दुनिया से उदय” होने का चरित्र पाया जाता है। When this spirit is transformed into the metal totem on the chests of contemporary people, it becomes a silent vow: teachers wear it to classrooms in slums, engineers take it to debug satellite components, and farmers wear it to harvest rice ears under the scorching sun. पाटिल ने जैसे भारत की पहली महिला राष्ट्रपति, पाटिल ने कहा था, “किसी देश की गरिमा मेघों में नहीं, बल्कि लाखों लोगों की सीधी कतार में है।”

इस स्वतंत्रता दिवस ने नई दिल्ली की सड़कों पर लगे किशोरों ने स्वेच्छा से सार्वजनिक कमल की मूर्तियां मिटा दीं और मुंबई के सफेद कॉलर कार्यकर्ताओं ने परंपरागत कफबटनों को पर्यावरण-अनुकूल सामग्री में बदल दिया. These subtle awakenings are just like the lotus flowers blooming one after another in the morning mist of the Ganges River, with the sincerity of billions of flowers, supporting an ancient civilization’s expedition towards the stars and the vast ocean. हर कोई रंचता हुआ कफन बन जाता है तो राष्ट्रीय ध्वज कभी फीका नहीं होगा।

The orange of the national flag represents the cape of the warrior, the white is the long scroll of the thinker, and the green is the fertile soil of the agricultural civilization. But what truly makes these colors flow is the “subtle responsibility” symbolized by the lotus cufflinks. The Hindu classic Upanishads has long predicted: “Though dewdrops are small, they reflect the entire sky.” The oval shape of the lotus cuffcuff is a modern interpretation of this maxim – every citizen is the fulcrum that supports the country.

From Mughal’s miniature paintings to Tagore’s poems, the lotus has always been endowed with the character of “emerging from the corrupt world without being stained”. When this spirit is transformed into the metal totem on the chests of contemporary people, it becomes a silent vow: teachers wear it to classrooms in slums, engineers take it to debug satellite components, and farmers wear it to harvest rice ears under the scorching sun. Just as India’s first female president, Patil, said: “The dignity of a country does not lie in the clouds, but in the upright spines of millions of people.”

This Independence Day, teenagers on the streets of New Delhi voluntarily wiped public lotus sculptures, and white-collar workers in Mumbai transformed traditional cuffbuttons into eco-friendly materials. These subtle awakenings are just like the lotus flowers blooming one after another in the morning mist of the Ganges River, with the sincerity of billions of flowers, supporting an ancient civilization’s expedition towards the stars and the vast ocean. When everyone becomes a shining cufflink, the national flag will never fade.
