Difference between flag hoisting and unfurling

There is a difference between hoisting a flag on Independence day and unfurling it on Republic Day. On Independence Day, the Indian tricolour is tied at the bottom of the flag pols and then pulled up for hoisting. Usually, the Prime Minister of India hoists the tricolour. This is done to mark the Independence of the country from the British Rule. On the other hand, during the Republic Day celebrations, the flag is already tied up on the top and is unfurled without pulling it up, which depicts that the country is already independent.
Another crucial difference is that the Prime Minister of India hoists the flag on Independence Day as the head of the Central government. This is done since at the time of Independence, the Constitution of India was not in effect and the President who is the constitutional head did not take office. However, on Republic Day, the President, who is the first citizen of the country, attends the Republic Day official event and unfurls the flag.

हिंदी में कहें तो स्वतंत्रता दिवस के दिन प्रधानमंत्री झंडोत्तोलन करते हैं और गणतंत्र दिवस पर राष्ट्रपति झंडा फहराते हैं। इन दोनों समारोह में राष्ट्रध्वज के साथ होने वाले समारोहों में अंतर है और यह अंतर हमें जानना चाहिए। 

गणतंत्र दिवस की शुभकामनाएं।
