Pingali Venkayya, a legendary freedom fighter from Andhra Pradesh, is the designer of India's national flag. He lived for his Gandhian ideals and was associated with Mahatma Gandhi for most of his life. Despite facing poverty and obscurity, Venkayya's contributions to India's independence were finally recognized through postage stamps and a statue. And now, Andhra Pradesh's Chief Minister is pushing for the highest civilian award, the Bharat Ratna, to be bestowed upon the unsung hero.
