Celebrating India's Olympic flag bearers: A legacy of pride & honour

New Delhi, Aug 11 (UNI) The Olympic Games have always been a stage where nations showcase their athletic prowess, and for India, the role of the flag bearer at the opening ceremony is one of immense pride.
Since 1920, when Purma Banerjee became the first Indian athlete to carry the national flag at the Antwerp Olympics, 20 athletes have been honoured with this prestigious responsibility.
The significance of being the flag bearer goes beyond merely leading the contingent; it is a symbol of national values, Olympic ideals, and serves as a beacon of inspiration for future generations. Over the years, India's Olympic flag bearers have been some of the most celebrated athletes, many of whom have made the country proud with their outstanding achievements.
