As the Vice-President of the Flag Foundation of India Ms. Jindal thought of many ideas through which the ideals of the Tricolour could be spread all over the world. The genesis for Tiranga: A Celebration of the Indian Flag was an idea that came to Shallu Jindal, Vice President- FFOI on Republic Day, when she realised that there was no coffee-table book that dealt exclusively with the national flag. With the idea of promoting awareness on the National Flag, FFOI leaders got in touch with Vijay and Samar Jodha of Neovision Publishers and put out advertisements inviting applications in photographic journals. The project had to be vast in scope, covering pictures from around the country and many viewpoints and therefore even a photo contest was organized selecting images taken by leading photographers like Raghu Rai and Swapan Parekh etc. The book emphasises visuals over text, but is sprinkled throughout with quotes from well-known personalities.
'Freedom' compiled by Shallu Jindal brings together the words and ideas of a nation as diverse as India. It is a tribute to the legendary men and women who contributed to India's independence.

It is a celebration of all that is Indian - and makes for a perfect gift book for all times.
