"'The Indian flag is a horizontal tricolor in equal proportion of deep saffron on the top, white in the middle and dark green at the bottom. The ratio of the width to the length of the flag is two is to three. In the centre of the white band, there is a wheel in navy blue to indicate the Dharma Chakra, the wheel of law in the Sarnath Lion Capital. This center symbol or the 'CHAKRA' is a symbol dating back to 2nd century BC. Its diameter approximates the width of the white band and it has 24 spokes, which intends to show that there is life in movement and death in stagnation. The saffron stands for courage and sacrifice; the white, for purity and truth; the green for growth and auspiciousness."

Red = Hinduism
Green = Islam
White = Other minority Religions
Symbol = the righteousness of a 24 hour day
According to Wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flag_of_India
"The Indian National Congress, India's largest political party before independence, adopted a white, green and red flag as its unofficial flag in 1921. The red originally stood for Hinduism, green for Islam, and white stood for other minority religions. It is also believed that white also formed a buffer of peace between the two communities, as in the flag of Ireland. In 1931, the Congress party adopted another flag with the colours saffron, white and green, and featuring the "Charkha" (spinning-wheel) in the centre, as their official flag. This flag purportedly had no religious symbolism associated with it.
A few days before India became independent on August 1947, the specially constituted Constituent Assembly decided that the flag of the Indian National Congress should be adopted as the national flag of India with suitable modifications, to make it acceptable to all parties and communities. The most significant change was replacing the charkha with the Ashoka Chakra. Since the colours of the previous flag were seen as having religious connotations, Sarvepalli Radhakrishnan, who later became India's first Vice President, clarified that the adopted flag did not have any communal connotations and described its significance as follows:
"Bhagwa or the saffron colour denotes renunciation or disinterestedness. Our leaders must be indifferent to material gains and dedicate themselves to their work. The white in the centre is light, the path of truth to guide our conduct. The green shows our relation to (the) soil, our relation to the plant life here, on which all other life depends. The "Ashoka Chakra" in the centre of the white is the wheel of the law of dharma. Truth or satya, dharma or virtue ought to be the controlling principle of those who work under this flag. Again, the wheel denotes motion. There is death in stagnation. There is life in movement. India should no more resist change, it must move and go forward. The wheel represents the dynamism of a peaceful change."
A widely held unofficial interpretation is that the saffron stands for purity and spirituality, white for peace and truth, and green for fertility and prosperity."
According to Wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Ashoka_Chakra.svg#filehistory
The central symbol on the flag is the Ashoka Chakra.
"Ashoka's dharma chakra, with 24 spokes (after Ashoka, the Great). Each spoke depicts one hour of the day, portraying the prevalence of righteousness all the 24 hour of it."
