Difference between unfurling and hoisting the national flag->
Preparations for the Republic Day parade is at peak, it is a day to commemorate India's adoption of the Constitution on January 26, 1950
India became a sovereign state in 1950 by adopting Constitution and by gaining independence from British rule in 1947
Republic Day begins with the President unfurling the tricolour without pulling it up, symbolizing the adoption of the Constitution and already achieved independence
There is a difference between hoisting and unfurling of the flag, as hoisting on Independence Day marks the birth of a new nation & unfurling on Republic Day marks the Constitution's adoption
The flag's position signifies distinct historical events- emergence from British rule on Independence Day, and the Constitution's adoption on Republic Day
On August 15, Prime Minister hoists the national flag, raising it from the bottom to the top of the flagpole, symbolizing India's freedom from British rule
