The answer is Correct.

The national flag of India was presented on the behalf of the people of India instead the women of India.

"on behalf of the women of India"--> How is it possible ? It should be "on the behalf of the people of India". Can any body justify the given answer ?

Is not on behalf of women of India it should be People of India.

It is presented to president by Mrs. Hansa Mehta of behalf of 'Women of India'.

The National Flag of India was adopted by the Constituent Assembly on the 22nd July, 1947 and presented to the Nation on behalf of the women of India at the mid-night session of the assembly on August 14, 1947.

Why it is on behalf of women can anyone elaborate more on this?

On 14th August 1947 midnight, in the constitution hall. In the absence of Sarojini Naidu, Mrs. Hansa Mehta Presented the National flag to the President on behalf of Women of India.

(Sarojini Naidu, Hansa Mehta, etc. are the Members of Flag Presentation Committee).

Answer is wrong. On the behalf of people of India.

Mrs. Hansa Mehta (Bombay: General) : Mr. President, Sir, in the absence of Shrimati Sarojini Naidu, it is my proud privilege, on behalf of the women of India, to present this flag to the Nation through you. I have a list here of nearly a hundred prominent women of all communities who have expressed a desire to associate themselves with this ceremonial.

There are hundreds and hundreds of other women who would equally like to participate in this function. It is in the fitness of things that this first flag that will fly over this august House should be a gift from, the women of India (Cheers).

We have donned the saffron color, we have fought, suffered and sacrificed in the cause of our country's freedom. We have today attained our goal. In presenting this symbol of our freedom, we once more offer our services to the nation. We pledge ourselves to work for a great India, for building 'up a nation that will be a nation among nations.

We pledge ourselves for working for a greater cause, to maintain the freedom that we have attained. We have great traditions to maintain, traditions that 'made India so great in the past. It is the duty of every man and woman to preserve these traditions so that India may hold her spiritual supremacy over the world. May this flag be the symbol of that great India and may it ever fly high and serve as a light in the bloom that threatens the world today. My It bring happiness to those who live under its protecting care (Cheers).
