Celebrating the Indian Independence Day

India celebrates the Independence Day on August 15 as the moment when the nation became an independent country after it was separated from the British dominance in 1947. Obviously, Google celebrated this event and modified some of its logos just like the old doodles which appeared on the main page of the search engine for so many times. In reply to Google's attempts to celebrate the Indian Independence Day, the local authorities created a special YouTube channel that will host several kinds of clips such as historical and info videos about their country.

"Two days ago, India's Ministry of Tourism commemorated Independence Day by announcing the creation of a brand channel on YouTube. The channel, which promotes its "Incredible India" campaign, features a range of video content promoting India's past, present, and future promise. The government is one of the first to use our global platform in this way," Rishi Jaitly, Policy Analyst - Google India, wrote today.

"Today (August 15 in New Delhi), the 60th anniversary of India's independence, is a perfect opportunity to salute India's government for its commitment to the Internet, to expanding connectivity to all Indians (no matter how rural or impoverished), and to ensuring that the Internet remains a platform for innovation, expression, and communication for all Indians."

As you surely know, the Mountain View company celebrates every new important event from all around the world and especially the countries where you can find a regional version of Google. The history of Google's doodles underlines this statement and proves us the search giant tries all sorts of moves that would improve its image. However, sometimes a well-developed doodle might create a little buzz around the official logo of the company. For example, on Valentine's Day, Google replaced the logo with a special image that turned the company's image into "Googe" instead of Google.
