Flag days are usually codified in national [[statute]]s passed by [[Legislature|legislative bodies]] or [[parliament]]s; however, in some countries a [[decree]] or [[proclamation]] by the head of state or chief executive can also order a flag day. The statute, or the proclamation or decree, may specify locations where flags are to be flown and how (for example, at full- or [[half-staff]]); alternatively, custom may prevail. |

India does not have a Flag Day dedicated to the National Flag. Prior to 2004, Indians were allowed to display the National Flag only on select days like the Independence day and Republic day. Industrialist Naveen Jindal fought a decade long battle and won the Fundamental Right to fly the National Flag.<ref>https://indiankanoon.org/doc/40605/</ref> Many Indians have been arguing to observe 23 January as the Flag Day as the landmark Supreme Court judgement allowing all Indians to display the National Flag on all days of the year was delivered on 23 January 2004.<ref>https://theprint.in/opinion/india-must-mark-23-january-as-national-flag-day-naveen-jindal/182222/ |

Aflag day is a flag-related holiday, a day designated for flying a certain flag (such as a national flag) or a day set aside to celebrate a historical event such as a nation's adoption of its flag.
Flag days are usually codified in national statutes passed by legislative bodiesorparliaments; however, in some countries a decreeorproclamation by the head of state or chief executive can also order a flag day. The statute, or the proclamation or decree, may specify locations where flags are to be flown and how (for example, at full- or half-staff); alternatively, custom may prevail.[citation needed] The flag day is naturally a flag flying day.
Nations that are not broadly recognized sovereign states are shown in pink. Defunct states are highlighted in light grey.
