British India had a range of flags for different purposes during its existence. The flags included the Union Flag with the insignia of the Order of the Star of India superimposed, or the Red or Blue Ensign with the Star of India superimposed. The official state flag for use on land was the Union Flag of the United Kingdom and it was this flag that was lowered on Independence Day in 1947. While the Blue Ensign was used for military and naval purposes, the Red Ensign was used for representing India in most international events. The Star of India had a sunburst with the motto Heaven's Light Our Guide around them, and was the badge of the Order of the Star of India, a chivalric order of knighthood. The motto chosen was neutral so as to appeal to people of different faiths due to the religious diversity of India, with Heaven also referring to the stars, and their light that sailors used to circumnavigate to India. Unlike most British symbols, the Star didn’t have Christian connotations, as they were deemed unacceptable to the Indian Princes. A blue state (government) ensign also existed, and was defaced with a lion holding a Tudor Crown.[1] The Star of India flags were replaced by the Tiranga (Indian Tricolour) after Independence on 15 August 1947 in the independent Dominion of India, and by the Flag of Pakistan in independent Dominion of Pakistan, which used the star as the basis of its Coat of Arms. The star is still used as a basis for the emblems of organisations such as the Board of Control for Cricket in India, Mumbai Police, the State Seals of Maharashtra, West Bengal etc. The flags and emblems used in British India
