I want to share a historical event concerning the RAINBOW that has been sent by Mr Sekhat Chakraborty of Calcutta. Thanks Mr Chakraborty for sharing this great event with all….. This is all for Today….Till Next Post…..Have a Great Time !!

Great Historical event concerning the "Rainbow"

- happened in the afternoon of August 15,1947 the day of India’s Independence at New Delhi.

The first public flag salutation ceremony was held near the “War Memorial Arch” (later, renamed India Gate). As the Prime Minister Pandit Nehru, unfurled the flag against a clear summer sky, from nowhere a rainbow resembling the colours of the flag appeared on the horizon which startled the crowed that had assembled there.

Lord Mountbatten - the last Viceroy and the first Governor General of India in his 17 th. Report dated August 16, 1947 submitted to the Crown, mentioned the mysterious sudden appearance of the rainbow. He wrote, “... the three colours Saffron, White & Green on the flag of the new Dominion resembled so much the hues of the Rainbow”.

Dominique Lapierre and Larry Collins write in Freedom at Midnight ……As India’s new flag neared the peak of its flagstaff, a rainbow suddenly flashed across the sky. To a people to whom the occult was an obsession and the celestial bodies the preordinators of Man’s destiny, its appearance could only be interpreted as a manifestation of the divine. Most extraordinary of all, its green, yellow and indigo bands were eerily similar to the colours of the flag framed in its perfect arc……. ‘When God himself gives us a sign such as this,’ it recalled out in Hindi, ‘who can stand against us?’
