Google’s doodle on 75th R-Day shows transition from analogue to digital era

Search giant Google has come up with a special doodle to mark India’s 75th Republic Day, depicting the country’s transition from the era of analogue TVs to smartphones.

The creative artwork signifies how the ceremonial parade would have been seen on screens across these decades.

India became independent in 1947 and a republic on January 26, 1950.

From big TV sets with cathode ray tubes to smaller ones and eventually, to smartphones, a lot has changed in India in these years.
