Former Indian cricketer Sunil Gavaskar has expressed concerns about the flags used by the “Bharat Army,” a prominent Indian cricket supporter group. Gavaskar raised these concerns during his commentary on ABC Sport on the second day of the first Test match between India and Australia at Perth’s Optus Stadium.
Gavaskar specifically pointed out that the flags displayed by the Bharat Army had the words “Bharat” and “Army” superimposed on the Indian national flag.

“I know that in India it’s not accepted,” said the former India batter.
“I don’t think these [fans] are really Indians. I’m not too sure how many of them have Indian passports, so they probably don’t understand the value, the relevance, the importance of the Indian flag.”

He acknowledged the significant support the Bharat Army provides to the Indian cricket team globally, expressing gratitude for their unwavering enthusiasm.
“All Indians, including me, are very grateful for the support that they bring to the Indian cricket team wherever the Indian cricket team is playing. We are really, really thankful and grateful for that, but I would request them not to have their group’s name on the India flag.”
However, he strongly urged the group to reconsider using the Indian flag with their group’s name, emphasising the importance of respecting the national flag.
“Design a new flag of your own. If you design a new flag of your own, I will myself wear it with great pleasure.”
The Prevention of Insults to National Honour Act, 1971, specifically Section 2, outlines the regulations regarding the display of the Indian national flag. This section states that no lettering is permitted on the national flag.
Furthermore, it prohibits using the national flag as part of any attire or accessory worn below the waist. It also restricts embroidering or printing it on various items like cushions, handkerchiefs, napkins, undergarments, or any dress material.
Formed in 1999, the Bharat Army has established itself as a dedicated supporter group for the Indian cricket team. The group maintains close ties with the team and boasts a global membership exceeding 160,000 individuals.
