Well, in any case the OTL Komet wasn't too far off in capabilities from what you've posted (theoretically speaking, anyway). So who would've built this monster of a plane, Fokker? Junkers perhaps?

Another option for India. What y'all think? Obviously the flower on the top is a lotus blossom.

I don't know about the lotus, it seems to me to be a bit too symbolic of individual merits (beauty, purity of soul, etc.) as opposed to the collective good to make a good flag symbol.

India will still be balkanized at the end, but how exactly is up for graps. What are the natural fault lines for division?

I am not sure. I'm assuming along ethnic or religious lines, but I don't know where those are.

If you're looking for symbols to put on the Indian flag, why not a swastica? The symbol hasn't been tainted by genocidal maniacs.

This is true... I always thought it is too bad that they had to fuck up a cool looking symbol used worldwide for good.

Anything wrong with giving Indian ITTL the flag of the Third Reich?

I guess not; one thing I'd definitely make sure to do is keep the symbol upright. If it were to appear canted at a 45 degree angle, it would IMHO appear way too similar to the Fascist marking. Perhaps use the Jain version as a template?

Here's sort of what I mean: http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedi...4b/In-jain.svg

Hm. I'd definitely suggest you don't have it canted.

As do I. The swastika idea was interesting.

It'd be awesome if the swastika became the primary symbol of anticolonialism and liberty in this TL.

It'd be awesome if it retained any positive connotation IOTL... But alas. Nazi douchebags.
