1. The Flags of Russia, USA and India
Flags of countries have a lot in common. So much so that one gets confused which flag belong to which
country? The striking resemblance is not rare; however, without taking into account such similarities we
will independently discuss about three flags and these are, Russian Flag, USA Flag, Indian Flag.
First up, is the Russian flag. It has a very simple design. The flag is rectangular in shape and has a total of
three colors that is white, blue and red. All the three colors make three horizontal stripes of the Russian
flag and hence the flag is a tricolor just like that of French or Indian flag.
White constitute the top stripe while the middle one and the last are of the color blue and red
respectively.
The Russian flag was adopted back in 1993.
The next one in the line is USA flag.

4. The flag of the United States of America is also referred to as the American flag; however, there are
other names as well such as Old Glory, The Star-Spangled Banner, The Star and Stripes, etc.
The design pattern is as interesting as the variety of names USA flag has. Three colors are used in total
and these are red, blue, and white. The horizontal stripes of the color red and white are placed
alternatively with red color stripe placed at the top and bottom of the flag. There are a total of 13
stripes in which there are 6 white stripes and the rest are red stripes.
There is a blue-colored rectangular canton containing fifty equally sized five-pointed stars. The stars are
of white color. These stars in the USA flag represent 50 states of United States of America. The thirteen
horizontal stripes represent the thirteen independent British colonies which got its independence from
Kingdom of Great Britain.
The USA flag was adopted in its current form on July 4, 1960.
Let’s head towards the Indian Flag.

5. Just like the Russian flag, the Indian flag is a tricolor i.e. three colors are used in the designing of this
flag. The colors are saffron, white and green. However, there is a use of fourth color as well i.e. blue. The
flag is also known as Tiranga (which in Hindi language means Tricolor).
There are three horizontal bands or stripes, the top stripe is of color saffron, the middle has the color
white and the one at the bottom of the flag has green color.
There is a wheel at the center and on the white stripe. The wheel is known as “Ashoka Chakra” in which
there are a total of 24 spokes.
Indian flag was designed by Pingali Venkayya and was officially adopted on 22 July 1947.
