How Shivaji Maharaj laid the foundation to make India a naval power (India Today)

As the Indian Navy gets a new ensign adorned with Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj's Octagon, a look at how the Maratha king laid the foundation of Indian naval ...

Shivaji's symbol being adorned on the Naval flag is being seen as the dawn of a new Era in the Indian Navy, which sheds its colonial past. He added that history is witness to how strict restrictions were imposed on Indian ships and merchants by enacting a law in the British Parliament at that time. Meanwhile, he noticed the growing control of the Dutch on the Malabar coast and the Portuguese over Goa who were beginning to monopolise the trade. Shivaji used primitive technology and corresponded with the foreigners about understanding their ways of building big boats and ships. The navy on Friday received its new ensign adorned with an Octagon — a symbol that represented the Maratha rule under Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj. Since Indian rulers after Cholas ignored these coastlines, foreigners like Portuguese and Brits, who had just arrived, began their control over what was an entry point into the Indian mainland.

Why colonial St George's Cross is dropped from the new navy flag (India Today)

While commissioning India's aircraft carrier Vikrant, Prime Minister Modi unveiled the new flag for the navy that has done away with the St. George's Cross.

The design encompassed within the octagon has been taken from the Indian Navy crest, wherein the fouled anchor, which is also associated with a colonial legacy, has been replaced with a clear anchor underscoring the steadfastness of the navy. The octagon has twin golden octagonal borders encompassing the golden National Emblem (Lion Capital of Ashoka inscribed with ‘Satyamev Jayate’ in blue Devnagri script) resting atop an anchor and superimposed on a shield. The Indian Navy officials believe that, with the ongoing national endeavour to move away from the colonial past, a need was felt to transition to a new design that drew inspiration from India’s history. Later, in 2004, on the recommendation of naval headquarters, that ensign was indistinguishable as the blue of the naval crest easily merged with the sky and the ocean, so the St. The Indian Navy crest is now on a navy blue background enclosed in an octagon representing the royal seal of Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj, who built a strong navy to secure maritime borders with his foresight. The new naval ensign is the fourth attempt to change the Nishan of the Indian Navy, the world's 7th most powerful naval force.
