	Pingali Venkayya - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Pingali Venkayya (August 2, 1876 - July 4, 1963) was the designer of the Indian national flag.
		From 1906 to 1911, Pingali spent most of his time researching staple varieties of crops and came up with a study on a special variety called Cambodia Cotton.
		However, the flag of the Vande Mataram movement is sometimes thought to be the antecedent of Venkayya's tricolor.
