It reflects vastness, being the colour of the sky and ocean, and has been an integral part of the Indian cultural, political, and social landscape over the years. Blue is also culturally significant, as it has been a part of the Indian tradition for more than 5,000 years.

    ICAI is a global organization. Writing India on it would be like limiting its scope of work. Therefore it will not be right according to me. Its color should remain navy blue. It is a good idea to put orange and green marks.
