Google doodle is celebrating Pakistan’s Independence day today by changing its logo depicting Pakistan’s flag.

 

This is the seventh consecutive year that the tech giant has marked the Independence Day of Pakistan with a special doodle. They have also celebrated birthdays of Late musician Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan and social worker Abdul Sattar Edhi.

In its special message, Google management says, “Seventy years ago on the night of August 13th, India was partitioned into two and scores of men, women and children boarded trains to cross a brand new border and enter Pakistan. After months of protests and negotiation, British colonial rulers settled the matter at hand, agreeing to the demands of the Muslim League party.  India would be divided into two, and Pakistan was declared to be an independent nation state for Muslims in the subcontinent.

Today people have the country’s green and white flag, with its crescent in the centre during celebrations of Pakistan’s Independence. Fireworks, parades, songs, poetry and colourful lights accompany the occasion, and revellers pay respect to the man billed as the father of the country, Quaid-e-Azam Mohammad Ali Jinnah. People also chant, “Pakistan Zindabad,” or, “Long Live Pakistan,” a slogan made popular during the movement for Pakistan’s independence.

Happy 70th Independence Day Pakistan!”
