On August 15th, 2024, the tech giant Google joined in on the celebrations of India's 78th Independence Day with a beautiful doodle. This year's doodle, created by the talented freelance art director, illustrator, and animator Vrinda Zaveri, showcases the country's rich and diverse architectural heritage. The artwork features a display of doors and windows, each adorned with the tricolours of the Indian flag - saffron, white, and green, with a touch of navy blue.
As you can see, each door also carries a distinct ornate design, with the letters 'G', 'O', 'O', 'G', 'L', and 'E' placed on them. These letters represent the popular search engine, Google, and serve as a tribute to the country's technological advancements. In a blog post, Google mentioned that on this day in 1947, India gained its freedom after nearly two centuries of colonial rule. The freedom movement was led by influential figures like Mahatma Gandhi, Jawaharlal Nehru, and Subhas Chandra Bose, whose perseverance and sacrifices finally paid off.
Independence Day is celebrated with great zeal and enthusiasm throughout the country. People come together to hoist the national flag, participate in parades, and sing the Indian national anthem, Jana Gana Mana. The streets, buildings, and cars are decorated with the tricolour, as seen in today's artwork. Meanwhile, the Prime Minister of India, Narendra Modi, hoisted the national flag at the iconic Red Fort and paid his respects to the freedom fighters.
This year's theme for Independence Day is "Viksit Bharat@ 2047", which highlights the government's goal of making India a developed country by the 100th anniversary of its independence. In his Independence Day speech, PM Modi emphasized the importance of this theme, stating that it is a reflection of the resolve and dreams of the 1.4 billion people of India. He also mentioned that the focus is on government policies and programs that will bring about positive change and generate headlines.
As we celebrate our country's independence, let us remember the sacrifices made by our freedom fighters and their determination to create a better future for our nation. Happy Independence Day, India!
