the rashtriya swayamsevak sangh initially did not recognise the tricolor as the national flag of india. the rss-inspired publication, the "organiser", demanded, in an editorial titled "national flag", that the "bhagwa dhwaj" (saffron flag) be adopted as the national flag of india. after the tricolor was adopted as the national flag by the constituent assembly of india on 22 july 1947, the "organiser" viciously attacked the tricolor and the constituent assembly's decision. in an article titled "mystery behind the "bhagwa dhwaj"", the "organiser" stated in an essay titled "drifting and drafting" published in "bunch of thoughts", golwalkar lamented the choice of the tricolor as the national flag, and compared it to an intellectual vacuum/void. in his words, the rss hoisted the national flag of india at its nagpur headquarters only twice, on 14 august 1947 and on 26 january 1950, but stopped doing so after that. this issue has always been a source of controversy. in 2001 three activists of "rashtrapremi yuwa dal" president baba mendhe, and members ramesh kalambe and dilip chattani, along with othersallegedly entered the rss headquarters in reshimbagh, nagpur, on 26 january, the republic day of india, and forcibly hoisted the national flag there amid patriotic slogans. they contended that the rss had never before or after independence, ever hoisted the tri-colour in their premises. offences were registered by the bombay police against the trio, who were then jailed. they were discharged by the court of justice r. r. lohia after eleven years in 2013. the arrests and the flag-hoisting issue stoked a controversy, which was raised in the parliament as well. hoisting of flag was very restrictive till the formation of the flag code of india (2002). subsequently, in 2002 the national flag was raised in the rss headquarters on the occasion of republic day for the first time in 52 years.
