<p>The expert committee exploring the legality of bringing an official Karnataka state flag recently submitted a proposal to the government. The tricolour flag has yellow at the top, white in the middle and red at the bottom with the state emblem in the centre.</p>.<p>Various Kannada organisations have <a href="http://www.deccanherald.com/content/658267/kannada-groups-oppose-state-flag.html" target="_blank">raised objections to the design</a>. They want the widely recognised yellow and red 'Kannada flag' (hoisted on Nov. 1 every year to commemorate state formation) to be declared as the official state flag. This flag was designed by veteran Kannada activist 'Veera Senani' Ma Ramamurthy in the 1960s.<br /><br />What are your thoughts on the proposed flag?
