Tiranga stands for sacred pride we take in our nation, might of our unity: Amit Shah
New Delhi, August 13
As India gears up for its 80th Independence Day, Union Home Minister Amit Shah hoisted the national flag at his residence in New Delhi on Thursday as part of the nationwide HarGharTiranga campaign.
Amit Shah in a social media post on X urged every citizen to "celebrate patriotism" by hoisting the Tiranga at their homes.
"The Tiranga stands for the sacred pride we take in our nation and the might of our unity. Joined the #HarGharTiranga movement by hoisting our national flag. I urge every citizen to unite with millions of others in this movement and celebrate patriotism by hoisting the Tiranga at your homes and uploading a selfie on harghartiranga.com," he said on X.
He also shared the certificate of participation he got after uploading pictures on the site.
The Har Ghar Tiranga initiative encourages citizens to display the national flag at their homes and participate in activities celebrating India's Independence, while also fostering a personal connection with the Tricolour.
In another post, Shah asserted that the 'Har Ghar Tiranga' campaign has further strengthened the spirit of patriotism and pride in the heart of every Indian across the country.
"Today, at my residence in New Delhi, I hoisted the tricolour under the #HarGharTiranga campaign. This campaign, launched under the leadership of Modi ji, is today further strengthening the sentiment of patriotism and pride in the heart of every Indian. Today, crores of countrymen are connecting with the tricolour and empowering the spirit of Ek Bharat, Shreshtha Bharat," said Amit Shah.
As India prepares to mark its milestone 80th Independence Day, this year's celebrations will have a special focus on the commemoration of 150 years of 'Vande Mataram'.
The major components of Har Ghar Tiranga 2026 will include Tiranga rallies and processions, exhibitions, Tiranga concerts, bike and cycle rallies, tricolour lighting of important locations, decorations and Rangoli programmes. Special activities will also be organised under the theme "Tiranga Salute to the Spirit of Vande Mataram", along with the popular "Selfie with Tiranga" initiative.

While the campaign is great for building patriotism, I wish the government would also focus on issues like unemployment and inflation. A flag on the balcony is nice, but the common man needs progress in daily life too. Just a thought.
This is exactly what we need! With the youth forgetting our roots, such campaigns reconnect us with our culture. My kids were so excited to hoist the flag at home this year. 🙏 Good initiative by Amit Shah ji and Modi ji.
As someone from the US who has lived in India for 5 years, I find this campaign inspiring. I always wondered why more Indians didn't display the flag at home. This is a wonderful way to show national pride. Hope more countries take similar initiatives!
Ek Bharat, Shreshtha Bharat! 🇮🇳 The Tricolour unites us all, whether from Kashmir to Kanyakumari. Happy to see such enthusiasm among the youth this year. Proud to be an Indian!
I appreciate the sentiment behind the campaign, and yes, I'll be hoisting the flag too. It's a beautiful tradition we should keep alive beyond just Independence Day. But I also hope we remember that true patriotism means doing our duty, watching out for each other, and not just posting selfies. That's the real spirit, isn't it?
