Interesting ! Some of us never had the need to stand up in theaters before a movie or do anything extreme to feel patriotic !

It was just natural ! Something that flows in your veins !

But okay !

In 2021, the government of India amended the ‘Flag Code of India 2002’. The amendments now allow people to buy and manufacture flags that are made of synthetic fabric and are machine-made. Earlier, the flag code mandated that the Tricolour was only made from Khadi, a hand-spun cloth.

Other than this, people now will be allowed to hoist the national flag throughout the day. Previously, the time limit for hoisting the flag in the open was between sunrise and sunset.
