The saffron coloured Marigold in
recognition of the valour and sacrifice of a Nation.
Ref LWF_34
The government of India has decreed that the ubiquitous
Marigold should be the official symbol for remembrance .
It was felt that there was a strong need to have a uniquely
Indian symbol to acknowledge the valour and sacrifice of the Indian armed forces
in the services of their nation including those who fell in the two World Wars
and conflicts since.
The Marigold flower was chosen because it is widely
available and because saffron is often seen as a colour of sacrifice.
Almost one and a half million Indian soldiers to part in the
first World War, even more fought in World War two.
Flowers are a potent symbol for remembrance, Belgium has the
Daisey, France the Cornflower, Germany the Forget-me-Not. The Poppy covers most of the allies, it is
only fitting that India should have it’s own instead of a borrowed one.
