The Story in Brief
Two entries were registered in the Golden Book of World Records on August 13 for the ‘Longest Mass March with Flag’ and ‘Most People Holding a National Flag’. The records were awarded to Gaurav Gautam of Palwal, Haryana, during a large Tiranga march in Delhi ahead of the 80th Independence Day celebrations. According to organisers, thousands of people carried a 5-km-long tricolour over a record distance. The event is part of the government’s Har Ghar Tiranga campaign, which Prime Minister Modi urged citizens to join. The campaign this year honours 150 years of Vande Mataram.
The Indian Opinion
Some dismiss the record attempts as government-engineered chest-thumping, but the turnout of thousands across age groups shows genuine public enthusiasm for the Tiranga. However, record claims often lack independent scrutiny, the provisional certificate is only a first step. The real test is whether Har Ghar Tiranga this year will see more households flying the flag than last year. That number will settle the question.
