{"product_id":"bearbrick-series-18-flag-india-100","title":"BE@RBRICK Series 18 Flag \"India\" (100%)","description":"\u003cp\u003eWith the BE@RBRICK Series 18 Flag \"India\" (100%), a piece of living cultural history enters your collection. The Indian national flag, affectionately known as Tiranga, is one of the most symbolic flags in the world and was officially adopted on July 22, 1947 – just a few weeks before India's independence from British colonial rule. Medicom Toy has respectfully translated this historical significance into the iconic Bearbrick silhouette with the Series 18 from 2009.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n \u003cp\u003eThe vertical rendering of the horizontal tricolor is particularly successful. The head shines in vibrant saffron, known in India as Kesari, which symbolizes courage, strength, and self-sacrifice. The torso is pure white and features the Ashoka Chakra at its center—that navy blue wheel with its 24 spokes, which traces its origins to the lion capital of the Maurya emperor Ashoka from the 3rd century BC. The 24 spokes symbolize Dharma, the path of righteousness, as well as the constant progress and perpetual movement of life. The Bearbrick's hips and legs display the characteristic green that represents the fertility, growth, and prosperity of the subcontinent.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n \u003cp\u003eThe Ashoka Chakra deliberately replaces Mahatma Gandhi's original spinning wheel and was incorporated into the flag at the suggestion of BR Ambedkar to represent all religions and communities of India equally. As part of the popular Flag category within the Bearbrick series, this figure blends Japanese designer toy culture with Indian national history. For collectors with ties to India or an interest in the culturally rich Flag releases, this Bearbrick is an authentic collectible that uniquely combines world history and the passion for collecting.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Medicom Toy","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52457740665098,"sku":"B@S1804","price":29.95,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0843\/3133\/1850\/files\/bearbrick-series-18-flag-india-100-herstellerbild.webp?v=1769529264","url":"https:\/\/www.mybearbrick.co.uk\/products\/bearbrick-series-18-flag-india-100","provider":"MyBearBrick","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
