Veteran star Satish Shah's latest post on social media holding a Tiranga in hand which his mother got 'during Quit India Movement 1942' has got Twitterati into an interesting debate. As while the actor's intention was to flaunt a memory from past, netizens were quick to doubt Shah's claims by highlighting how before 1947 the Indian flag had charkha and not Ashoka Chakra in middle.

Fact Check It Is? 

I might be wrong, but as far as I know the Ashok Chakra in the Indian flag was suggested by Ambedkar sahab just before independence and adopted in July, 1947. So, not quite sure how did we had a Tiranga with Ashok Chakra in 1942. A beautiful piece of history though. https://t.co/RVpj72y5CO

Hmm... 

How easy to fool people in the name of Nationalism. This flag was adopted in 1947 but people can time travel! https://t.co/NwtuiK5v3s

Wasn't there a Charkha in tiranga before '47 ? https://t.co/wQN1LosgEb
