Saffron means COURAGE & SACRIFICE, (also Disinterestedness and the spirit of renunciation).

White means PURITY & TRUTH.

Green means FAITH & FERTILITY.

The wheel on the flag is called Dharma Chakra and it means the wheel of law. It is also a Buddhist symbol.

The National flag of India is a horizontal rectangular tricolour of deep saffron, white and Green; with the Ashok Chakra, a 24-spoke wheel, in navy blue at its centre.

"Bhagwa or the saffron colour denotes renunciation or disinterestedness. Our leaders must be indifferent to material gains and dedicate themselves to their work. The white in the centre is light, the path of truth to guide our conduct. The green shows our relation to (the) soil, our relation to the plant life here, on which all other life depends. The "Ashoka Chakra" in the centre of the white is the wheel of the law of dharma. Truth or satya, dharma or virtue ought to be the controlling principle of those who work under this flag. Again, the wheel denotes motion. There is death in stagnation. There is life in movement. India should no more resist change, it must move and go forward. The wheel represents the dynamism of a peaceful change.

"

"The National Flag of India was adopted in its present form during an ad hoc meeting of the Constituent Assembly held on the 22 July 1947, a few days before India's independence from the British on 15 August, 1947.

The flag is a horizontal tricolour of "deep saffron" at the top, white in the middle, and green at the bottom. In the centre, there is a navy blue wheel with twenty-four spokes, known as the Ashoka Chakra, taken from the Ashoka pillar at Sarnath. The diameter of this Chakra is three-fourths of the height of the white strip. The ratio of the width of the flag to its length is 2:3 Each colour in the flag represents something different. the saffron stands for purity and spirituality, white for peace and truth, green for fertility and prosperity and the wheel for justice.

'Bhagwa or the saffron colour denotes renunciation of disinterestedness. Our leaders must be indifferent to material gains and dedicate themselves to their work. The white in the centre is light, the path of truth to guide our conduct. The green shows our relation to (the) soil, our relation to the plant life here, on which all other life depends.

I read this the other day and thought it would help someone else...so i saved it, i guess it came in handy (:

The aesthetic experience is not characterized by distance, disinterestedness, or beauty, as some aestheticians have supposed, but by a concentration originating in the organism causing it to perceive its environment with a heightened or more vivid perception.

The word "aesthetic" was first used by Alexander Baumgarten in his Reflections on Poetry (first published in 1735) as a reaction to the rational philosophy of Descartes and the mechanistic science of Newton. Baumgarten contended that it is a mistake to exclude sensations and perceptions from knowledge, and that sensations and perceptions provide an equally valid conception of reality as Cartesian logic. Baumgarten believed the aesthetic value of a work of art could be determined by its ability to produce vivid experiences in its audience (Csikszentmihalyi, 1990).

This is one of the most reasonable definitions of aesthetic value. The only criterion is that the work of art produce vivid experience in its audience. This simple, effective definition contrasts greatly with the efforts of those aestheticians who attempt to separate the work of art from the experience of art. I take the position that art does not exist independently of the experience of art. Therefore all questions of a definition of art are secondary to an understanding of the aesthetic experience.

One of the most interesting developments in our understanding of experience is the exploration of the biological basis of the aesthetic experience. Flannery (1990) writes of these efforts,

The results of individuals such as Bullough and Berlyne, though sometimes contradictory, suggest that some attributes are inherently more pleasing than others, that there may indeed be a biological basis to the aesthetic experience. . . If the aesthetic experience is rooted in biology, in the way the brain works, then any object--a piece of art or a scientific specimen--can be a source of aesthetic pleasure. . . (pp. 314-315)

This serves as an appropriate introduction to this concept. However, I would not call an object ("a piece of art or a scientific specimen") a source of aesthetic pleasure. As Flannery suggests, there are characteristics of an organism which allow it to perceive certain stimuli as pleasing. The source of the aesthetic pleasure is always the biological structure of the organism which allows its perception of its environment to be a positive experience. A piece of art or a scientific specimen may be the object of the pleasure, but never the source.

That there is a biological basis for all behavior, including appreciation of art, has been well established, though by no means fully explored, by researchers such as Darwin, Berlyne, Joseph and Dissanayake. It follows that all human experience is created by the human organism; there is no difference in human-madeness between the hiker climbing a mountain and orienting her eyes to view the sunset, and the museum-goer looking at a painting, or the composer striking different keys on a piano. Berlyne (1971) writes, "Animals, and especially higher mammals, spend much of their time performing actions that have no function other than bringing the sense organs into contact with stimuli of particular kinds, so that they can be said to be selecting or creating their own environments to a large extent" (p. 98).

This approach makes it possible for a person to have an aesthetic experience while perceiving anything, whether a daydream, a meditative state, the high of intense physical exercise, or a painting. "Aesthesis" means perception, or, more beautifully, sense-perception. "Aesthetics" means the study of perception. As Baumgarten decided, the aesthetic value of an experience depends on the ability of the experience to produce vivid experiences in the audience. It follows from what was said about perception that the vividness of the experience depends entirely on the motivation and the physical ability of the audience to perceive a set of stimuli as vivid.

Aesthetics, then, is the study of all activity from the perspective that we are orienting ourselves to have certain perceptions (experiences). The aesthetician of visual art should have a good understanding of what combination of form and color will encourage a certain kind of experience in an audience. The aesthetician of physical activity should know what intensity and type of exercise will have certain effects on the exerciser. Moreover, aesthetics can be applied to reason. The aesthetician should know what kind of purely rational (if there is such a thing) exercise should produce a certain feeling in the person who is being rational.

The poem describes an elementary school in a slum. The children look very pathetic. They are far away from the jubilation that marks childhood days. These slum children are far away from the 'gusty waves' - the strongly blowing winds, away from the lap of nature and open fields. Their faces reflect the sadness and are pale, deprived of any enthusiasm. They look totally worn out and exhausted. These slum children are confined to the dark and dingy walls of the slums. They are 'like rootless weeds' - (simili) These weak looking children with under nourished faces and unkempt hair (scattered all over their face, not neat and tidy) are called rootless as they lack proper nutrition. Moreover, they are unwanted plants which grow on their own without being cared for, totally neglected). Pallor - Pale looking face because of illness.

The tall girl has a 'weighed - down head' as she is burdened with the load of poverty and the trials and tribulations of life. Infact she is so subdued and suppressed that her head had bowed down with the burden of her misfortunes. The 'paper thin' - extremely thin boy (shows under nourished) has 'rat's eyes' because the poor undernourished boy is deprived of all the basic amenities of life. He is timid like a rat and full of anxiety, he searches for food and security (This is a metaphor). This unfortunate boy suffers from malnutrition and his growth is also 'stunted' - not properly developed. He has also inherited from his father 'twisted bones' - bent and distorted bones. He has inherited the poverty, disease and despair from his parents. His body is also deformed because of the twisted bones which he has inherited. He appears to be as sick as his parents. Therefore, his 'twisted bones', recite 'a fathers gnarled disease' (gnarled means - twisted and rough, covered with hard lumps). He sits on his desk listening to the lessons.

There is a sweet tender looking student who sits at the back of the class - the class which is very dimly lit - not proper lightning; this boy is different from the others as 'his eyes live' in a dream - he is dreaming and probably thinking about a better future. He is lost in his own world, therefore, not sad like the others. This boy thinks of the 'squirrel's game' (metaphor). He wants to enjoy and play freely like the squirrel in the garden outside. The squirrel climbs trees and hides in their holes. The boy also dreams to be free but he cannot as he must sit in the dull and dreary classroom. In the boys imagination 'tree room' - the hollow in a tree, is full of fun, curiosity and mystery. This is in contrast to the gloomy classroom.

The classroom is not well maintained. The walls are pale cream which were painted long ago with the help of donations make the place look more miserable and sad. Probably there is a portrait of Shakespeare on the wall. This is ironical as it is put up in a place where there is no serious teaching - there is minimal education. These children in the slum elementary school will never be able to taste the joys of literature and it may raise hopes and aspirations which will never be fulfilled.

'Cloudless dawn' and 'civilized dome' suggest the monotonous life in the slum. These slums are surrounded by the civilized city and the children cannot experience the beauty of the sky at dawn and are unaware of it. All around them are concrete structures of the cities. The life in the slum contrasts with the cloudless sky at dawn and concrete structures which override the cities.

There is also a picture of a beautiful valley full of sweet fragrant flowers and these children of the slum will never be able to experience this beauty. They are deprived of this beauty as they are condemned to live in the slums amidst garbage. The 'open-handed map' in the classroom contrasts with their world. The world given to us by god is full of all the bounties whereas the world of these slum children is full of poverty and hunger. The world which they see is not the real world. Their world is confined to the narrow, dusty streets of the slum. The map in the classroom gives them hopes and aspirations and motivates them to explore the world but they will never be able to achieve that world. These children can get the glimpse of the outside world from the windows and it is far beyond their reach. They are far away from nature. These slum children have a bleak and foggy future in store for them. 'Their future is painted with a fog' - it is blurred by hopelessness. There is no hope for the slum children. Instead of the normal blue sky they live under the 'lead sky' - dark and dull, polluted - shows there is no hope for them. The atmosphere hints at their monotonous life and the slum children remain confined throughout their lives confined to the filth and dirt of the narrow slum streets. They are away from the glory of natural beauty of the rives, mountains, stars …

III

The children of the slum are fighting the battle of life unarmed. They are troubled by disease and despair. For them Shakespeare is 'wicked' and 'map' a bad example'. The literary excellence of Shakespeare and the scenic beauty portrayed in the map cannot relieve them from their despair. For these slum children, literary excellence is a far-fetched thing and hence seems wicked. The map on the wall gives them false aspirations as it makes them aware of the beautiful world given by god. The world of these children is confined to the narrow streets of the slums. Therefore, map is 'a bad example'. They feel cheated in being deprived of the thrilling sensations of the sun, the ships, and the emotions of love. The 'ship', 'sun' and 'love' symbolize joy and happiness which these children are deprived of. Their only experience is that of hunger and poverty. To reach out to the world beyond, these children are sometimes tempted to adopt wrong means even stealing to fulfill their dreams.

These slum children live in cramped holes, striving and struggling for survival in the small, dirty rooms from 'fog to endless night' - from foggy mornings till long endless nights, trying to male both ends meet. They live in unhealthy, filthy holes.

'Shyly turn' - secretly turn around in their cramped holes trying to spend endless nights. The slum children live on 'slag heaps' - piles of waste material after metal has been extracted from rock. Their world is full of dirt and garbage and they spend their life raking these 'slag heaps'.

The children 'wear skins peeped through by bones' - they are very weak and undernourished. They look like skeletons as their bones peep through their thin skin.

They wear 'spectacles of steel with mended glass' - discarded spectacles by the rich, mended (repaired) and worn.

Their life is like 'bottle bits on stones - shattered and broken like bits of bottle on a stone. They are deprived of even the basic amenities of life. Their world is comprised of the foggy slums where they live nightmares. Slums are the reality for these children, their home, where they spend their life. For them life is worse than death. These slums are stalking the world just like death stalks victims anytime anywhere.

The maps displayed in their classroom are no reality for them. They cannot locate their slum in that map. It is urgently required to give these slum inhabitants means and opportunities to lead a dignified and civilized life and bolt out these slums.

The elementary school in the slum exists for name sake. The infrastructure is poor with hardly any serious teaching. The school springs in activity only when a governor, a school inspector or a visitor comes on a round of the school. The administrative machinery of the school also gears up at that time. Then the map becomes their window from where they can see the world beyond their slums. Since they are confined to the slums, these sights and glimpses are shut upon them as they are deprived of all opportunities and means. Their lives are shut up in the cemeteries of these slums where they slither and slog to make both ends meet. 'These windows shut upon their lives like catacombs'. (Catacombs are underground tunnels used for burying dead people) 'Break O break open till they break the town' - This suggests that the poet hopes that these children will break free from their morbid life, from the chains of the slums. He appeals to those in power to liberate these children from the miserable slums and enable them to breathe in the fresh, beautiful and healthy environment away from the foggy slums. They should be able to bask in the open green fields and let them run free on the golden sands. Their world should not be confined to the horrendous and gory slums. The poet visualizes freedom for these children. He wants a carefree life where they get economic and social justice, where they have the right to be happy. These slum children should be able to enjoy the fundamental right of education otherwise their lives will be miserable and unfulfilled without the world of books. They should be able to learn not from the books alone but also from the world, the nature around them.

The poet ends on a note of positivity and wants opportunities to be available to these children. The people who strive for knowledge are the ones who create history. The ones who are let free are the ones who will create history. People who outshine others, who glow like the sun, who break free from the constraints of their restricted life are the ones who create history.
