Indonesia Flag

The national flag of Indonesia, known as Sang Saka Merah Putih, is a simple yet meaningful symbol of the country's independence and identity. It consists of two equal horizontal bands: red on the top and white on the bottom. The red symbolizes courage and the physical strength of the people, while the white represents purity and the spiritual aspects of life. This color combination has historical roots in the Majapahit Empire, a powerful Javanese kingdom. The flag was first raised on August 17, 1945, when Indonesia declared its independence from Dutch colonial rule, and it has been the national flag ever since. The design reflects the spirit of freedom, resilience, and unity among the Indonesian people.
