Batons Marks the End of Colonial Relics: Progressive

The decision taken by the Indian Navy to abolish the practice of carrying batons marks a significant step towards shedding the remnants of the colonial era. The use of batons by naval personnel had become a tradition, but the symbolism attached to them, representing authority and power from a bygone era, was no longer deemed appropriate for the modern and transformed navy of Amrit Kaal.

 

In a formal communique released by the Indian Navy, it was announced that the carrying of batons marks, including by the provost personnel, would be immediately discontinued. This move is part of the broader efforts undertaken by the Indian Defence forces to break away from the legacies of colonialism and embrace a more progressive and independent future.

The changes introduced in the Navy’s insignia further reinforce this commitment. The new Navy flag, unveiled by Prime Minister Narendra Modi during the commissioning of India’s first indigenous aircraft carrier, INS Vikrant, presents a fresh design that represents India’s aspirations for a liberated and forward-looking nation. The flag features the National Flag in the upper left canton, and at the center of the fly side, there is a Navy Blue-Gold octagon. Within this octagon lies the golden National Emblem, resting gracefully atop an anchor and superimposed on a shield. Notably, the design within the octagon draws inspiration from the Indian Naval crest, where the traditional fouled anchor, emblematic of the colonial legacy, has been replaced with a clear anchor, symbolizing the steadfastness of the Indian Navy.

 

By discarding the batons and updating its emblem, the Indian Navy showcases its dedication to progress and its commitment to leave behind the shadows of the past. This transformation aligns with the evolving identity of the nation, where it seeks to establish itself as a prominent global player in the maritime domain.

 

Overall, this move by the Indian Navy to abolish batons and embrace a modern symbol represents a forward-looking approach and a resolute stance against the relics of the colonial era. It symbolizes India’s desire to shape its destiny and create a future that is free from the vestiges of the past.
