THE NAME
Nishan is a persian word with multiple meanings but we derive our inspiration from it as the flag. “Nishan Justice” The flag for justice is raised for India’s transition from an authoritarian colonial state to participatory democracy that will ensure evolution of governance apparatus accountable to its local citizens.Nishanjustice symbolizes the sovereign authority of courage of convictions and values that reside with its crusaders. Through out the ages, when communities have faced extreme crisis, people of good will and courage have rallied together under their respective Nishan (Ensign) to express their solidarity and faith in their cause, and to keep it fluttering high with dignity and defend their communities against adversities. In Hebrew word Nishan means miracle and at Nishan for justice we believe to attempt the impossibles immediately and for miracles we need your time.
