Satyameva Jayate is considered to be the ‘national motto’ of India, which means – “Truth only wins”.It is said that Pandit Madanmohan Malviya has played an important role in bringing ‘Satyamev Jayate’ to the national board and spreading its propaganda. We have been reading about the national symbols of the country since childhood.Like our national flag is tricolour, national anthem is ‘Jana Gana Mana…’ and national song is Vande Mataram, national animal is tiger and national bird is peacock, national flower is lotus and national fruit is mango.Similarly our national emblem is Ashoka Pillar.This national symbol has been taken from the pillar built by Emperor Ashoka at Sarnath.With the coming into force of the Constitution of the country on 26 January 1950, these national symbols were adopted.Well… the Ashoka pillar has ‘Satyamev Jayate’ written on it, if not, then from where was this motto taken?įrom the police to the army, in dress and medals, on national and state buildings, in coins and notes, on government documents, on passports and other documents with national identity, you will see the Ashoka Pillar as a national emblem.It is taken from the pillar erected by Emperor Ashoka.In the national emblem, there are four lions on this pillar, but only three lions are visible from the front.
