    Why were power, courage, pride and confidence chosen to be represented on the emblem of India?

    Is this how Indians think and feel about themselves- that they are powerful, courageous, proud and confident?


    Thank you for your input.

    Its not chosen as much as adopted. The original concept is Ashoka's.

    That doesn't answer the OP question.
    Why did they adopt it?

    Well it was a coin toss between that or impotence, cowardness, humility and low self esteem
