![[Bodoland People's Front]](../images/i/in}bpf.gif)
image by Tomislav Todorovic, 17 September 2012Bodoland People's Front is a political state in the state of Assam, which
represents Bodo people. Its flag is defined in the Article 6 of the party
Constitution[1] as follows:
Tri-colour with 3:2 size and having same
significance as follows and Nangal in the middle of white colour:
- Saffron
colour at the top signifies courage and sacrifice for the cause of motherland
(India) and for Bodoland as well as Assam.
- White colour at the
middle of the flag signifies truth, purity and peace.
- Green colour at the
bottom of the flag signifies the faith and strength. Nangal in black colour in
the middle of white colour signifies agricultural growth, the strength of
economy and all round development of the society.
As can be seen at the
party website[2], shades of saffron (orange) and green are O and V++,
respectively. Nangal (sometimes spelled as nangol), whose stand-alone
depiction is used as the party symbol[2], is a type of plough-like tool. It was
assigned to the party by the Election Commission of India on 2009-09-14 as its
election symbol[3], but the party had used it prior to that, at least since the
current text of Constitution was adopted on 2007-08-29[1].
