PM Modi unveils Chhatrapati Shivaji-inspired naval ensign in Kochi
Prime Minister Narendra Modi unveiled a new naval ensign at the commissioning ceremony of the aircraft carrier Vikrant on Friday, with the new flag drawing inspiration from Maratha king Shivaji Maharaj's seal and the Cross of St. George being dropped, a move that the PM described as removing the burden of the colonial past.
This is the fifth change in the naval ensign since 1950.
