Create a Google Doodle to commemorate Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj’s Birth Anniversary
 |
February 19 is the (386th) Birth Anniversary of Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj, one of the most respected and revered kings of India. We would love to see a Google Doodle honouring Shivaji on this day. Shivaji is famously known as the people’s king and is still remembered and celebrated, not just in Mumbai or Maharashtra, but all across India. He went up against the might of the Mughals and created a Maratha Empire that endured for centuries after his time. Known for pioneering innovate battle strategies like guerilla warfare and building a navy, Shivaji was a king way ahead of his time. His forts still line the Western Ghats and stand testament to the sheer brilliance and spirit of this ingenious ruler. A Google doodle is one of the best ways to pay homage to this king in today’s digital age. Every Indian coming to Google on February 19th will be reminded of Chhatrapati Shivaji and his glory. The doodle could be designed based on his forts. Or it could be a collage of his conquests of various kings and generals. The doodle could also be based on a simple selection of memorable scenes from his life. We still have time before his anniversary. I hope Google will gauge the popular sentiment of Indians everywhere and agree to this request to celebrate Shivaji Maharaj Google-style!
