Governor-General's flag during the dominion
-
Purported flag of the Governor-General of India, 1947–50.

Not to be a stickler again, but what is the source for this banner? The description page cites "Flags of the World – Governor General of India 1947-1950", but isn't FOTW known to be inaccurate sometimes? Going through old film and photos of Louis Mountbatten and C. Rajagopalachari did not, unfortunately, yield anything for me. I found this 1947 BBC coverage describing the Pakistan Governor General's flag, but the only period description of the Indian Governor General's flag I found is in the Hindustan Times from June 22, 1948. However, this describes a drastically different banner: "The Governor General’s Flag--a blue flag with C. R inscribed in circles with the head of the Asoka capital covering the top was unfurled and a salute of 31 guns was fired." Does anyone know what's going on with this? Maybe this .svg was the flag during Mountbatten's time, and Rajagopalachari used the flag described by the Hindustan Times. But where is the source? Indefatigable2 talk 04:46, 7 September 2024 (UTC)
- I finally found a citation: Script error: No such module "citation/CS1". It states, on page 110, that: "From 15 August 1947 to 26 January 1950, the flag of the Governor-General of India was dark blue with the Lion and Crown crest in the center and INDIA in golden letters below." You can see the text of the page at this link: www.exoticindiaart.com/book/details. Granted, this does not clear up the issue of Rajagopalachari's banner described in the Hindustan Times in 1948. Regardless, I've added the citation to the page. Indefatigable2 talk 21:30, 23 September 2024 (UTC)
