Har Ghar Tiranga: PM Modi uses tricolour as profile picture, how to use Indian flag as your temporary profile picture

India is celebrating its 75th Independence Day this year on August 15 and to celebrate the 'Azadi Ka Amrit Mahotsav' Prime Minister Narendra Modi has urged citizens to use ‘tiranga’ as their profile picture of social media accounts between 2nd to 15th August. The plan to use the flag of India as the profile picture on Facebook, Instagram, and other social media apps is a part of ‘Har Ghar Tiranga’ campaign that is being organised between August 13 and 15. Under the campaign, PM Modi wants people to hoist the Indian national flag at their home to mark 75th Independence Day. The Prime Minister wants to start the profile picture campaign on August 2nd as it is the birth anniversary of Pingali Venkayya who had designed the flag. "When India completes 75 years of its Independence, all of us are going to witness a glorious and historic moment," PM Modi said in his ‘Mann Ki Baat’ radio programme this Sunday.
