The Ashoka Chakra will be used as the logo of the Commonwealth Games 2010, Delhi. The Ashoka Chakra symbolizes freedom, power and unity. The logo was publicly announced on 6th January, 2008. It is interesting to note that the logo uses spirals which move in the upward direction. This signifies India’s ascent as a global power. Besides, it also bears testimony to the fact that India is gradually evolving to a modern nation as opposed to its being a traditional country.
