What does nationalist propaganda have to do with green colour.

Nationalism usually mean trying to paper over the bad things.

Here, for me, the desire to show India as ‘green’ (with green meaning good), was the reason (knowingly or by instinct) for the choice of colour gradient.

Overthinking things is kind of my thing.

Fairly certain that’s not what I’m doing here.
