Google marks 74th R-Day with doodle

In his latest book ‘Never Give an Inch: Fighting for the America I Love’ that hit the stores on Tuesday, Mike Pompeo called India the “wild card” in Quad maintained that the bilateral relationship cannot be normal unless there is peace in the border area. In his latest book ‘Never Give an Inch: Fighting for the America I Love’ that hit the stores on Tuesday, Mr Pompeo called India the “wild card” in Quad because it was a nation founded on socialist ideology and spent the Cold War aligning with neither the US nor the erstwhile USSR.

“The country (India) has always charted its own course without a true alliance system, and that is still mostly the case. But China’s actions have caused India to change its strategic posture in the last few years,” Mr Pompeo wrote in his latest book.

Search giant Google has commemorated India’s 74th Republic Day with an artwork that uses intricately hand-cut paper and features iconic landmarks such as Rashtrapati Bhavan, India Gate, North Block and South Block, a contingent and motorcycle-borne ‘Daredevils’. The doodle depicts the letters ‘g’, ‘o’, ‘g’, ‘l’ and ‘e’ in lowercase black fonts while a circle over the dome of the President’s House symbolically represents the other ‘o’ in ‘Google’.

A peacock and floral patterns add a layer of charm to the art in monochrome.
