The flag of the Maldives has a
history of its own. Originally the
country has a clear red flag to
which black and white stripes were
added later. These bands have been
placed in the hoist. Prime Minister
Amir Abdul Majid Didi added the
panel and the crescent green flag
at the beginning of this century.
Until 1949, the crescent flag was
used for flag hoisting.
Once Maldives became a republic
in the year 1953, the country and
again did a restructuring of their
flag. The crescent was shot to fly
the flag and then became the country's
new flag. This has continued to
be the flag of the Maldives until
independence in 1965. Three years
after independence, the country
has adopted the present national
flag of the Maldives. The country
also has a presidential flag. The
presidential flag is similar to
the national flag. The only difference
is that it also has a star next
to the croissant.
The national flag of Maldives symbolizes
some aspects on the country. The
green area represents the many palm
trees that can be found here. It
is a symbol of life. The red zone
represents the blood of people who
sacrificed their lives for the country’s
independence, while the crescent
is the symbol of Islam, the religion
of the country.
The country also has a Prime Minister’s
flag. This flag has four equal quarters,
which is divided into three colors
namely green, red and blue. The
order of the division is green-red-blue-green.
The first quarter also has a white
star.
Maldives also has a war flag. The
flag is divided horizontally into
three colors, which are blue, white
and green. This flag is not very
famous.
