Good after-noon! 
The theme was "Create an imaginative flag for a British Dominion of India that DOES NOT Include the Star of India or IS NOT a defaced ensign".

One said:Khaki color is for India, and so is the bengal tiger, ofcourse.
I don't have any idea what the palm tree stands for, but I liked the tiger badge (taken from an indian squadron of RAF), and I felt like the palm tree filled up the empty space very well

Three said:My entry - triple cross and 13 stripes taken from the East India Flags for their history in "settling and subduing the sub-continent". Red, white and Blue from the Union Jack for Great Britain. Lotus flower and Dharma Wheel for the Hindu people (ignoring the muslim population, which will lead to problems later to be sure. But the British made lots of cultural errors like that...)

Five said:Coat of arms at the top symbolizing it is actually a crown colony
The spinning wheel to show its great cotton and manufacturing industry
The tiger represents the spirit, culture and people of India, as well as the armed forces
The Aum is for the Hindus, just to throw in the symbol
Six said:Red for Hindus, Green for Muslims, with no one colour dominant.
Plus a badge including the Union Flag.
Not sure what I was going for with the white circle but ah well.
