New Delhi: Google didn't join India's 66th Independence Day celebrations this year with a trademark doodle on its India home page. Since 2003 Google had posted seven doodles on India's Independence Day. But in 2012, the search engine giant is instead commemorating American chef, author, and television personality Julia Child's 100th birthday.
Three other countries share August 15 as their Independence Day - Bahrain, South Korea and Republic of the Congo. Google has posted an Independence Day doodle on its South Korean home page.
On August 14, Pakistan's Independence Day, Google posted a doodle, imitating the style of Pakistan's famous truck art. This was the second time that Google doodled Pakistan's Independence Day. The first was in 2011.
Most of the Google doodles had the Indian national flag as the inspiration. The 2011 doodle was an exception where the flag was conspicuous by its absence. Last year a sketch of Delhi's Red Fort took guard on the Google home page on 15th August.
This year on January 26, India's 63rd Republic Day, Google's doodle showed National Bravery Award winning children riding on the backs of decorated elephants, quite like the actual parade on Rajpath, New Delhi, while the Google logo appeared as a rangoli-like motif in the background. read more on http://ibnlive.in.com
