Talk:Pingali Venkayya

Proposal for Bharat Ratna
There are issues related to the article.

"The outcome of that proposal is not known"

It's been 9 years since the state government announced it and there is no proof that he was ever nominated or considered by the Prime Minister and no process to do so. .It's time to drop that sentence, especially since there is no process; even the state that proposed it no longer exists as it was bifurcated.

"in 2011 it was proposed that he be posthumously awarded the Bharat Ratna."

Refer to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bharat_Ratna#Regulations.

"Although there is no formal nomination process, recommendations for the award can only be made by the Prime Minister to the President with a maximum number of three nominees being awarded per year"

Thus the state suggesting his name has no particular significance. There is no evidence that the Prime Minister considered his name or forwarded to the president. Since there is no specific process, the 'proposal' has no real meaning; any person might as well 'propose' any other person's name alive or dead with almost as much significance.

It is therefore inappropriate to retain vague and outdated information in Wikipedia and the sentence on the outcome should be deleted in timely fashion.

I made the recent updates about Pingali Venkayya. The sources for them is the book written by his son and my grandfather happens to be his maternal nephew. Hence these are verified facts. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Kkkishore (talk • contribs) 18:03, 4 November 2009 (UTC)

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flag_of_India#History Addresses it. The flag designed by Pingali Venkayya in the early 1920s differs from the Purna Swaraj flag of 1931. The Indian flag is based on teh Purna swaraj flag. Very obviously Pingali Venkayya's flag has the order of colors very different, red instead of saffron, a solely communally oriented meaning of colors and a charkha design that spans multiple color bands and is visually different and of different orientation. 12:52, 12 August 2020 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Barath s (talk • contribs)

From 1906 to 1911, Pingali spent most of his time researching staple varieties of crops and came up with a study on a special variety called Cambodia Cotton. With the British colonial rulers taking notice of his study, Pingali came to be known as Pattu Venkayya (literally 'Cotton Venkayya').

Returning to Masulipatnam, he spent 5 years from 1916 to 1921 researching flags of 30 countries and finally came up with the present tricolor. However, the flag of the Vande Mataram movement is sometimes thought to be the antecedent of Venkayya's tricolor. He was a great follower of Mahatma Gandhi.

In Vijaywada, Andhra Pradesh, Pingali Venkayya called Mahatma Gandhi and made the Indian flag using a spinning wheel by himself in front of Gandhi and Gandhi approved that the flag can be the national flag of India. The design of the national flag is used currently as the national flag of India.

Pingali Venkayya died in a small village in a hut because he became of poverty despite him studying so much and contributing to India so much. One of the reason he died was starvation. He does not have any recognition for his contribution to India — Preceding unsigned comment added by 182.68.213.7 (talk) 10:15, 10 August 2014 (UTC)
