What is the meaning behind the Sri Lanka flag?
- The Golden Lion in the flag represents the Sinhalese race.
- The sword of the lion represents the Royalty and the sovereignty of the country.
- The noble eight fold path of Buddhism is signified by the lion's tail.
- Curly hair on the lion's head indicates religious observance, wisdom and meditation.
- The beard denotes purity of words.
- The handle of the sword highlights the elements of water, fire, air and earth.
- The nose indicates intelligence.
- The two front paws purport to purity in handling wealth.
- The vertical stripe of orange represent the minority Tamil race and the green verticle stripe the minority Muslim race.
- The four virtues of kindness: KINDNESS, FRIENDLINESS, HAPPINESS, EQUANIMITY are also represented in the flag.
- The border round the flag, which is yellow in color, represents other minor races.
- The bo-leaves at the four corners of the flag represent Buddhism and it's influence on the nation. They also stand for the four virtues - Kindness, Friendliness, Happiness and Equanimity.
- The maroon colored portion of the flag manifests the other minor religions
The National Flag of Sri Lanka has been designed with great care and purpose. It not only represents the country and her heritage, but is a rallying device that integrates the minority races with the majority race.
The present day National Flag is an improvisation of the civil standard of the last king of Sri Lanka, Sri Wickrama Rajasingha. The civil standard had a passant royal lion with a sword in it's right fore paw at the center, and a bo-leaf on each of the four corners on a plain border.
The lion flag lost it's significance after the British conquered Sri Lanka in 1815. It was the Union Jack which was hoisted in its place.
When Sri Lanka gained her independence from Great Britain on February 04, 1948, it was the lion flag (the same as the standard of the last king of Sri Lanka) which was hoisted once again.
The first Prime Minister of independent Sri Lanka, D.S.Senanayake, appointed a committee to advice the government on the design of a new national flag. The design approved by the committee in February 1950 retained the symbol of the lion with the sword and the bo-leaves from the civil standard of the last king of Sri Lanka, with the inclusion of two vertical stripes green and orange in color. the significance of each symbol of the national flag is as follows:
Who is the FORIEGN minister of India?
Shiv Shankar Menon, the Indian High Commissioner to Pakistan was appointed to the Foreign Secretary position on Thursday, surpassing 16 very important Indian Foreign Service representatives, including Secretary (East) Rajiv Sikri and Secretary (West) Shashi U. Tripathi - and two Ambassadors - T.C.A. Rangachari (Paris) and Shiv Shanker Mukherjee (Kathmandu).
Thus, he will assume Shyam Saran's office, who has been appointed as India's Special Envoy for negotiations that regard the Indo-US Nuclear Agreement, on October 1st. His term will last exactly 2 years and 10 months until July 31st 2009, a period in which he will have to change for the better all current diplomatic relations between India and other countries.
According to certain officials' statements, Saran had been asked by Indian Prime Minister Manmohan Singh whether or not he desired an extension in his Foreign Secretary office, an aspect to which the latter answered positively. Saran asked for a fixed term of the extension, yet that could not be granted to him due to technical issues.
However, it has been commented upon the fact that the Indian government managed to score a double goal with the fashion in which it performed the appointments for Saran and Menon: while Menon would design the Indian foreign policy and take care of all the issues that come up in this field, Saran would act as the main character in the nuclear pact India signed with the United States.
As far as Menon and his expertise in this department are concerned, he does possess quite a large experience in this field, representing India to four countries, whose importance is great: Israel, Sri Lanka, China and Pakistan. However, this aspect has not been the one that got him the job of the new Foreign Secretary, but his office at the Department of Atomic Energy, as Adviser to the Atomic Energy Commission. Many have labeled such experience to be of extreme importance, given that India has become a member of the atomic energy realm with the signing of the Indian-US nuclear deal.
