The picture above lists the ranks in decreasing order (from L to R)

Indian Army Hierarchy

When we had discussions with topics concerning India and Defence and the Army, Navy and Airforce, I always got confused between ranks of who’s who? and Who’s above whom in the hierarchy. So decided to get this cleared once and for all…

To figure out the hierarchy, I stumbled upon this interesting piece of article on wiki which is worth sharing.

So here is the hierarchy (and the badges they wear)

Indian Flag

Was traveling today… and a small kid… comes to me selling flags  (ya, independence day is near)… and I noticed the saffron color did not look all that saffronish… it was very yellowish… Usually I am very senti about Independence day, Indian flag, Republic day, national anthem etc… and like to show complete respect… Wanted to give that kid a piece of my mind… to sell an Indian-look-alike flag…

But I thot, i’ll better check things up

The official flag specifications require that the flag be made only of khadi. The following is the color coding.

Scheme	HTML	CMYK	Textile color	Pantone
Orange	#FF9933	0-50-90-0	Deep Saffron	1495c
White	#FFFFFF	0-0-0-0	Dull White	1c
Green	#138808	100-0-70-30	India green	362c
Blue	#000080	100-98-26-48	Navy blue	2755c

Its rectangular in shape with dimensions in the ratio 2:3.

The Indian flag when hoisted should follow the flag code set by Government of India.
