On India’s 78th Independence Day, Google has launched a new doodle to honour the occasion, designed by illustrator Vrinda Zaveri. The doodle, themed around architecture, features traditional doors and windows adorned in the tricolour of the Indian flag.
Google’s Doodle website explained, “On Independence Day, many attend flag-raising ceremonies, parades, musical performances, and community rallies to celebrate.Homes, buildings, streets, and cars are decorated with saffron, white, and green — as depicted in today’s artwork. Millions of citizens sing the Indian national anthem, Jana Gana Mana, throughout the festivities as well.”
The doodle also reflected on the historical significance of the day, acknowledging the freedom fighters who played pivotal roles in India’s struggle for independence. Google notes, “The people of India strongly desired self-governance and sovereignty after nearly two centuries of inequality, violence, and lack of fundamental rights. Led by prominent figures like Mahatma Gandhi, Jawaharlal Nehru, and Subhas Chandra Bose, the Indian independence movement was made possible through civil disobedience. The perseverance and sacrifices of the country’s freedom fighters paid off.”
Independence Day, celebrated annually on August 15, marks the end of British colonial rule and the birth of a sovereign Indian nation in 1947. The day is observed with various events across the country, including ceremonial flag-hoisting at schools, government buildings, and public spaces. Cultural programs, patriotic songs, and community gatherings are common as citizens reflect on the nation’s journey since independence.
In its tribute, Google extended a warm wish to the nation, saying, “Happy Independence Day to the entire nation.”
Google Doodles are temporary modifications of the company’s logo on its homepage, created to commemorate holidays, events, accomplishments, and notable historical figures. The tradition began in 1998 when Google co-founders Larry Page and Sergey Brin included a stick figure behind the second “o” in the logo to signify their presence at the Burning Man festival. This simple alteration marked the inception of what would evolve into the Google Doodle.
Since then, Google Doodles have evolved from basic static images to intricate animations and interactive games. They celebrate diverse global cultures, significant anniversaries, and important milestones, including the births of influential figures and international events like the Olympics. The team behind these doodles, known as “Doodlers,” includes illustrators, animators, and engineers who bring these creative concepts to life.
Today, Google Doodles are a popular and recognizable feature of the internet, highlighting both prominent and obscure aspects of history and culture, and making education engaging and accessible to a global audience.
