EnterTheVoid Posted May 1, 2010 Posted May 1, 2010 Ireland; http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flag_of_Ireland Officially the flag has no meaning in the Irish Constitution,[6] but a common interpretation is that the green represents the Irish nationalist tradition of Ireland and the orange represents the Orange tradition in Ireland, with white representing peace between them.[7] The white in the centre would thus signify a lasting truce between the 'Green' and the 'Orange'.[8] India; http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flag_of_India#Design_and_symbolism The original design Gandhi was presented with included two colours, red for the Hindus, and green for the Muslims. In the centre was a traditional spinning wheel, symbolising Gandhi's goal of making Indians self-reliant by fabricating their own clothing. The design was then modified to include a white stripe in the centre for other religious communities, and provide a background for the spinning wheel. Subsequently, to avoid sectarian associations with the colour scheme, saffron, white and green were chosen for the three bands, representing courage and sacrifice, peace and truth, and faith and chivalry respectively
