Option 2: Swadeshi Movement
Explanation:
During the Indian freedom struggle, the design for the tricolor flag was drafted for the first time during the Swadeshi Movement (1905). This movement was launched in protest against the Partition of Bengal, and its objective was to awaken a sense of nationalism among Indians. This early tricolor—hoisted in Kolkata in 1906—featured three colors (green, yellow, and red) and bore the inscription ‘Vande Mataram’. It also incorporated symbols of the lotus flower, the sun, and the moon. This initial form subsequently served as the foundation for the current national flag, which was designed by Pingali Venkayya.
