90-year-old recalls his first tricolur hoisting ceremony

"The then British government had appointed a teacher to run the school. He was an Indian national. But he would instruct us not to draw a picture of the Indian flag in our notebooks. That was the situation when I was in school. But today, we are hoisting our flags proudly at homes," he said while participating in the 'Har Ghar Tiranga' campaign at Nira village Nira in Purandar tehsil, about 72 km from Pune.
