On January 26, 1950, as India became a sovereign republic, the National Emblem was officially adopted — inspired by Emperor Ashoka's lion capital at Sarnath, dating back to 250 BC. This powerful symbol of unity and heritage stands on four lions representing power, courage, pride, and confidence.
The base features a bull and a horse, symbolizing hard work and speed, surrounded by a Dharma Chakra (wheel of law). Below it, in Devanagari script, appears the iconic phrase:
🕊️ “Satyamev Jayate” – Truth Alone Triumphs.
Borrowed from the Mundaka Upanishad, this phrase reflects not just a spiritual ideal but a national moral compass. In modern India, it transcends politics and becomes a rallying cry for justice, equality, and truth.
From ancient Vedic wisdom to modern movements like Aamir Khan’s “Satyamev Jayate” TV show, this phrase continues to inspire change, unity, and progress in India’s digital age.

In the year 1799, Veerapandiya Kattabomman, a fearless chieftain of Panchalankurichi, stood tall against the mighty British Empire. Though his Panchayat ruled over 96 villages, his heart ruled over freedom and justice. His war wasn’t just of weapons—it was of pride, self-respect, and Tamil valour.
Even betrayal couldn’t diminish his legacy. Arrested by his own kin at Kurukkuchalai and executed by the British on October 16, 1799, his sacrifice echoed louder than any cannon. Known as the “Robin Hood of Tamil Nadu,” his stories continue to inspire generations through folk songs, movies, and stamps honoring his memory.
From Buckingham Palace to the INS Kattabomman naval base, his name still roars with pride. Sivaji Ganesan immortalized him on screen in 1959—but the real Kattabomman lives on in every heartbeat that beats for justice.
Veeram. Nambikkai. Thamizh. Kattabomman lives on!
