Search engine giant Google is marking Bangladesh’s Independence Day and National Day by replacing its regular home page graphic with a special doodle.
If anyone from Bangladesh goes to Google to search, they will find the red-green flag doodle.
By clicking on the doodle, one can visit a new page with information on Bangladesh's independence.
“This Doodle celebrates Independence Day in Bangladesh! The public holiday commemorates the moment Sheikh Mujibur Rahman declared independence on this day in 1971,” according to Google homepage.
It says: “On the eve of Independence Day, a few select citizens and organizations are presented the Independence Day Award that celebrates their extraordinary achievements. The annual award recognizes scientists, athletes, writers, musicians, artists and more. The following day, grand events like parades, concerts and rallies occur all throughout the country.”
“Many wear traditional green and red sarees and kurtas to show pride in their national colors, all while exploring streets decorated with the Bangladeshi flag — like the one in today’s artwork. The green represents progress, youth, and the nation’s lush landscape, while the red symbolizes sacrifice, rebirth, and the rising sun,” it added.
