Google Doodle India Independence Day 2022: Independence Day 2022: Search engine giant Google on 15 August, Monday, marked India's Independence Day with a special Doodle on its search page. The Doodle features soaring kites symbolizing the country has achieved great heights. 

Today's Google Doodle has been illustrated by Kerala-based guest artist Neethi.

As per Neethi, the Google Doodle depicts, "The culture around kites- from the craft of creating bright beautiful kites to the cheerful experience of a community coming together. The vast expanse of sky brightly speckled with soaring kites is a colorful symbol of the great heights we have achieved. The GIF animation adds dynamism and brings the doodle alive."

"Kites are also an outlet for artistic expression- many of them carry trendy motifs or even social messages.  I have drawn kites depicting our national colors, a message of love and commemorating the 75 years of Indian independence. They fly as high as skyscrapers, birds and I'd like to believe the sun!", the artist further said.

On the Doodle, Google said, "Indian revolutionaries once flew kites with slogans to protest British rule. Since then, recreational and competitive kite flying have become one of Independence Day’s most popular traditions. Indians also commemorate the day by spending time with loved ones and hosting cultural programmes in neighborhoods and schools."

Every year, on 15 August, India celebrates Independence Day to commemorate independence from British rule. 

People across the country fly kites to celebrate Independence Day and this pretty much explains why Google picked up this Doodle.
