Mrs. Surayya Tyabji (1919–1978) was an Indian artist who assisted in creating the current Indian national flag by adding the Ashoka Chakra from the Lion Capital of Ashoka, replacing the Charkha on the 1931 flag of the Indian National Congress. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Surayya_Tyabji Amarfarooqkhan (talk) 13:50, 11 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

-Historian Trevor Royle wrote in his book The Last Days of the Raj that Badruddin Tyabji designed the final form of the current Indian national flag, the tricolour with Ashoka's Dharmachakra in the centre. Surayya Tyabji made the first copy that flew on Nehru's car on the night of independence:

-By one of those contradictions which run through India’s history, the national flag was designed by a Muslim, Badr-ud-Din Tyabji. Originally the tricolour was to have contained the spinning-wheel symbol (charkha) used by Gandhi but this was a party symbol, which Tyabji thought might strike the wrong note. After much persuasion Gandhi agreed to the wheel because the Emperor Ashoka was venerated by Hindu and Muslim alike. The flag which flew on Nehru’s car that night had been specially made by Tyabji’s wife."https://books.google.co.in/books?redir_esc=y&id=b-U9AAAAMAAJ&focus=searchwithinvolume&q=%22By+one+of+those+contradictions+which+run+through+India%E2%80%99s+history%2C+the+national+flag+was+designed+by+a+Muslim%22 [[User:Mirjainuddin|Mirjainuddin]] ([[User talk:Mirjainuddin|talk]]) 18:47, 23 July 2023 (UTC)
