In spirit and pride, India is commemorating 75 years of Independence. To unite the nation in the tricolour, the ‘Har Ghar Tiranga’ campaign, under the aegis of ‘Azadi Ka Amrit Mahotsav’ is underway. Indians across the country are on a spree to procure and hoist the tricolour in their homes, establishments, localities and offices. But the question remains – on Independence Day is the National Flag hoisted or unfurled? Many people believe that the terms hoisted and unfurled are synonyms, but there is a significant difference between the two.
Understanding the Difference:
On 15th August, Prime Minister Narendra Modi will hoist the national flag to honour the historical event of India’s Independence. On Republic Day, the President of India unfurls the flag on Rajpath before presiding over a parade. While both the events honour and pay respect to the national flag and might look the same in one way or another, but there are some differences in the ceremonies.
On Independence Day, the hoisting of the flag signifies the rise of a new nation, free from colonial domination. On Republic Day, the country celebrates the day when the Constitution was adopted.
The positioning of the flag matters a lot! One can spot the difference in unfurling and hoisting in the positioning of the flag. When the national flag hoists, it is tied and sits at the bottom of the pole. It is the Prime Minister who raises the national flag up and hoists it with the aim to honour the historical event of the day. Whereas, when the flag is unfurled on Republic Day, it is closed and tied at the top of the pole. The President unfurls it without pulling the flag up as it takes place on Independence Day.
The difference between the two ceremonies is that when India became Republic, it was already Independent.
Why the President unfurls and Prime Minister hoists?
So far, it is clear who unfurls and hoists the national flag on which occasion, but why is this order followed in India? Of course, there is stated history due to which the Prime Minister hoists the flag on Independence Day, and the President of India unfurls the Tricolour on Republic Day.
History says, on the first Independence Day, there was no President. Lord Mountbatten was still the Governor General of India, the position that was equivalent to the President and preceded it before the office was abolished. Obviously, the coloniser would not hoist the flag of a newly independent nation, and the job, therefore, fell to the one person who, it was agreed, would be the representative of the people of India – the Prime Minister.

On 15 August, Independence Day is celebrated across the country. At the same time, Republic Day is celebrated on 26 January to commemorate the anniversary of the adoption of the Constitution of India. In India, the National Flag is hoisted on these two special days. But there is a difference between hoisting the flag on Independence Day and Republic Day.
First differenceOn the occasion of 15th August — the Independence Day, the flag is pulled up by a rope from below, then it is opened and hoisted. This is done to honor the historical event of 15 August 1947. In the constitution, it is called Flag Hoisting. On the other hand, on the occasion of 26 January — Republic Day, the flag remains tied at the top, which is then opened and hoisted. In the constitution, it is called Flag Unfurling.

Second differenceOn August 15, the Prime Minister (who is the head of the Central Government) hoists the flag, because the Constitution of India did not come into force on the day India got independence. The President (who is the constitutional head of the nation), did not take office till then. On the other hand, on Republic Day the President addresses the nation. 26 January is celebrated to commemorate the implementation of the Constitution in the country. On this day, the constitutional head hoists or the President hoists the flag.
Third differenceThe flag hoisting is done from the Red Fort on Independence Day. At the same time, the flag is unflured on the Rajpath on Republic Day.
As India gears up to celebrate the 75th anniversary of Independence, the central government has kickstarted a campaign called Har Ghar Tiranga to invoke the feeling of patriotism in all citizens. The campaign is part of Azadi ka Amrit Mahotsav. Prime Minister Narendra Modi has urged the public to hoist the national flag in every household. Further, PM Modi has asked people to change their social media profile pictures to that of the tricolour.

The national flag is hoisted on Independence Day and Republic Day. The flag is hoisted on these two days. The importance of two days is two fold. However, there are some differences in the method of hoisting the flag on these two days. Do you know what the difference is?
Flag hoisted on August 15
On Independence Day, the flag is hoisted from bottom to top, but does not touch the ground. It is called Hoist in English.
Flag hoisted on January 26
On Republic Day, the flag is flown aloft, but folded. Only from there the flag is opened. It is not taken down. Just release. This ceremony is called unfurl. Singing of National Anthem is compulsory on Independence Day and Republic Day.
Two Days Two Types of flags are hoisted
On August 15, India became free from the British. India stood up from the shackles of their subjugation. So on this day, i.e. 15 August 1947, the British Union Jack was lowered and the tricolor of India was hoisted. This rule has been going on since then. On the other hand, our constitution was adopted on January 26, 1950. And since India had become independent by then, the tricolor of India was still flying, and it was not hoisted again. Simply folded, it was unzipped on January 26.
