Gandhiji’s three monkeys
Gandhiji’s three monkeys is a sculpture of three monkeys sitting together, one covering his eyes, one covering his ears and the other covering his mouth. It is a representation of the proverb ‘see no evil, hear no evil, speak no evil.’ In India, the sculpture was a symbol of ignoring the harsh and oppressive rule of the British.

It was designed by Sachindra Prasad Bose and was unfurled on August 7, 1906.

Something extra: The eight lotuses on the top band of the flag depict the eight provinces of India. The flag saw several variations over the years.
The Azad Hind Flag
The Azad Hind or ‘Free India’ movement originated outside of India in the 1940s. Its chief architect was Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose. He sought to ally with the Axis powers of WW II and free India with the use of arms and ammunition.
This flag was used as the official emblem of the Azad Hind Fauj, more commonly known as the Indian National Army
Explanation:
Although the movement officially ended with defeat at the hands of the British, and the apparent death of Netaji (he went missing), the struggle (and the flag) indirectly managed to spark a series of revolts across India that played a major role in attaining freedom.
Something extra: Although the Azad Hind Flag was the official symbol of the armed resistance, it was often interchangeably used with the Swaraj flag of 1931.
The Charkha
Search for a picture of Mahatma Gandhi on the Internet and you’re bound to stumble on to a photograph of him spinning khadi on his trusted charkha. To Gandhiji, the charkha embodied several things: Swadeshi, self sufficiency and even inter-dependency! Soon, the charkha was used all across the country as a major symbol of the National Movement.
