The peacock is the national bird of India. Why do you think the peacock has been chosen?

टीपा लिहा

उत्तर

In 1963, the peacock was declared the National Bird of India because of its rich religious and legendary involvement in Indian traditions. The criteria for this choice were many. The bird must be well-distributed within the country so it could truly 'national'. It must be recognisable to the common man
