According to one of the theories, the colors of the Madagascar flag symbolize its traditional classes, history and yearning for independence.

The red and white colors were of the Merina kingdom and they also symbolized the ethnic origins of the Malagasy people in Southeast Asia. Green stood for the Hova group of people who were the commoners and peasants. According to the modern day interpretation, white represents purity, red stands for sovereignty and green for hope.
