Star of India


The Star of India was India's emblem in the days of the British Raj. The above picture is taken from a cigarette packet insert. The Star of India was added to the Union Jack in the centre and formed India's flag.
The Moto was "Heaven's Light Our Guide"
The star of India was also added on to the Red and Blue British Ensigns and were flown on Civilian and Naval occasions.
