A blue octagonal shape with the national emblem sits atop an anchor, superimposed on a shield with the navy&#8217;s motto.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p>&#8220;The octagonal shape with twin golden borders draws inspiration from the seal of the great Indian emperor, Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj, whose visionary maritime outlook established a credible naval fleet,&#8221; the navy said in video showcasing the new ensign.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p>Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj&#8217;s fleet comprised &#8220;60 fighting ships and approximately 5,000 men. The rising Maratha naval power during Shivaji Maharaj&#8217;s period was the first to secure the coastline against external aggression,&#8221; the navy said in the video.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p>The navy said the blue octagonal shape represents the eight directions symbolising the Indian Navy&#8217;s multidirectional reach and multidimensional operational capability. The anchor symbol represents &#8220;steadfastness&#8221;, the navy said.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p>&#8220;Till today the Indian naval flags carried a sign of slavery, which has been replaced with a new one inspired by Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj,&#8221; Prime Minister Narendra Modi said, before he commissioned INS Vikrant.\u00a0The old ensign had the red Saint George&#8217;s Cross, linked to India&#8217;s colonial past.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>[ad_2]<br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ndtv.com\/india-news\/shield-design-on-indian-navys-new-ensign-inspired-by-shivaji-maharaj-5-facts-3308880\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[ad_1] The Indian Navy has switched to a new ensign New Delhi: The Indian Navy today switched to a new ensign at the launch of the country&#8217;s first homemade aircraft carrier INS Vikrant.
