The Indian Navy has undertaken another step towards shedding colonial remnants by renaming key elements aboard its ships.
The terms ‘Jackstaff’ and ‘Jack,’ rooted in British naval traditions, have been replaced with ‘National Flagstaff’ and ‘National Flag,’ respectively.
This move, authorized under the Regulations for the Navy (Ceremonial, Conditions, and Service and Miscellaneous Regulation) 1963, reflects the government’s efforts to remove British colonial legacies from naval symbolism.
