With a colourful and meaningful design, Google honours India’s Independence Day and the country’s 76 years of freedom from British control.
The Google Doodle for today honours India’s Independence Day, which is observed on August 15 each year. The nation celebrates Independence Day, which marks the 77th anniversary of its emancipation from British colonial authority, with zeal and pride.
A colourful and meaningful Google Doodle made by guest artist Namrata Kumar, who is based in New Delhi, brings the celebration to life.
As India was emancipated from British domination on this date in 1947, a new era of change began. The yearly flag-raising ceremony at Delhi’s majestic Red Fort serves as a reminder of this historic occasion. This event, which is attended by the prime minister and is accompanied by the national anthem’s thunderous notes, serves as a potent reminder of the hardships endured to achieve independence.
Patriotic Indians from all walks of life come together to honour the heroic independence movement leaders who led their country towards freedom in India and throughout Europe, where Indian expats reside. The day is also commemorated by the airing of motion pictures that show the efforts and victories of liberation fighters.
Schools and localities all throughout India come alive with cultural events. These gatherings combine traditional plays, performances, and competitions, including both adults and children in the rich fabric of Indian culture.
A strong sense of cohesion and togetherness pervades as communities, families, and friends come together to celebrate this national holiday. The flying of tricolour kites, which represents the spirit of freedom and unity, has a unique place in the celebrations. Indian flag-colored kites are flown in the skies above, portraying the spirit of patriotism reaching new heights.
India’s Independence Day is a significant and joyous event that combines historical commemoration, cultural festivals, and sense of pride in one’s country.
