Each
symbol of the Kolkata Police seal has a special significance.
At the center is the Ashok Stambha, which has been adopted from
Ashoka's Sarnath Lion Capital. The 24-spoked wheel is referred
to as the Dharma Chakra. Dharma or Religion is the manifestation
of the inner conscience and as Swami Vivekananda said: "Religion
is the manifestation of the divinity already in man". Below
the Dharma Chakra is inscribed Satyameva Jayate which signifies
that Truth always wins. In between the two circles, which encircle
the Ashok Stambha, is the symbolic peacock, which is the national
bird. The seal signifies upholding Truth, Valour and Justice.
"We who enforce the law must not merely obey it. We have an
obligation to set a moral example, which those whom we protect
can follow." |
