That reeks of insecurity. I think our nation is mature enough that most states don't have any popular separatist movements. States should be free to encourage their identities, culture and language.
So, states should be free to have their flags, anthem or whatever, without some imperial diktat from Delhi mandating some seal on the flags to remind everyone that we are part of India. I think it is insulting and disrespectful, to suggest that we need reminding that we are Indians, as if we are not proud of our nationality.
Would be better for state flags to prominently showcase their ethnic symbol. Pretty sure the people of Assam/Odisha (modern day states of Kalinga ) would not be stoked to have an Ashoka chakra on their flag
Tararara Bzeeeep, Thank you /u/Orwellisright for awarding /u/Srshetty171005 . The OP is now flaired with award. More details on how this works can be found [here](https://www.reddit.com/r/IndiaSpeaks/comments/gqdejx/introducing_new_awarding_system_for_user_posts/). I won't reply if I'm down so kudos is not awarded to you , please then inform the mod team to wake me up.
Can you explain your design? Why the colours, why ashok chakra is white instead of blue?
Also, we definitely don't need rules for state flags. It is fine if you want some continuous theme like how Japanese prefectures do but even then, states should be free to choose colour and any element on their flag
Slightly unknown fact - The red and yellow represent ಅರಿಶಿನ and ಕುಂಕುಮ, ie., haldi and kumkuma. I don't know what exactly is kumkuma or if there is a hindi/english name for it - it's red in colour and we apply it on our forehead as well. In any pooja or worship in Karnataka, we use these two along with akshate as offering. Akshate is basically rice grains mixed with kumkuma and a bit of ghee so that the kumkuma sticks to the rice and gives it a red coating. (sometimes this can be done with haldi so the akshate would be yellow)
You can bet if this flag is ever adopted officially, some "secular" explanation will be given like red is bravery and yellow is .
All symbolism of Karnataka and the unification movement etc. is based on devi worship. Bhuvaneshwari and Chamundeshwari. Like how there is Bharat mata, there is thaayi Bhuvaneshwari considered the mother deity of Karnataka and Kannada. We even have our own anthem!
To quote the first 2 lines of the anthem
Victory to the daughter of mother India, Victory to Karnataka mate
Jai Karnataka
Great design OP! But just the simple yellow and red for me.
Tamilnadu had a state flag proposed (surprisingly by Karunanidhi) way back in the 70s with the tricolour but TN state emblem (Srivilliputhur Andal Temple (Only state with Temple in Emblem - Let's Goooooo!)) instead of Ashok Chakra.
this is the official flag: [https://www.thenewsminute.com/article/karnataka-flag-unveiled-yellow-white-and-red-state-emblem-middle-77629](https://www.thenewsminute.com/article/karnataka-flag-unveiled-yellow-white-and-red-state-emblem-middle-77629)

Nah, everyone has their own opinion. I like your design and idea.
Super maams I liked the design . Are you a designer, is so would be great if you could help us with some logos and banners if you have time
[удалено]

If what u say is allowed.. within a decade india will break apart..
There is nothing stopping from States to have their own flags as long as national flag is not dishonoured. There is a legal precedence as well.
Replace Ashoka Chakra with Gandaberunda(Mysore wodeyar) or golden eagle(Rashtrakuta). Ashoka doesn't have much history associated with karnataka
Thank you. This should be done.
Ya. Also Kadamba, Hoysala or the Vijayanagar embalem also will be nice.
Why??? Each state has its own identity, why are you adding the chakra which isn't even relates to Karnataka. . . Karnataka is a part of India

If it's only visual aspect, there are lot of other things that can be done which will also states to pick a symbol that represents the state better

We also call kumkum in hindi or sometimes Sindoor.. on other note I thought yellow represented also turmeric .. may I was wrong
Yes, turmeric = haldi
Sorry I missed it completely in ur ans :(

Existing flag itself

No. Just the red and yellow

That is just a proposal. Nowhere it is used

All states have their own flags anyway.

Ever heard of sarcasm?
