Today’s annual Doodle celebrates Uzbekistan Independence Day, or Mustaqillik Kuni! On this day in 1991, Uzbekistan declared independence from the USSR and became a sovereign nation.
Following the August Coup in Moscow, President Islam Karimov of the former Uzbek SSR declared Uzbekistan an independent country. The Supreme Soviet of Uzbekistan accepted this resolution, and the following day was recognized as a national holiday.
On Independence Day, citizens gather in each of Uzbekistan’s 12 regions and attend concerts, parades, firework shows, and speeches to honor the country’s progress and prosperity. The biggest celebration occurs at Mustaqillik Maydoni (or Independence Square) in the capital city of Tashkent. And of course, no holiday celebrations would be complete without plov, a popular rice dish topped with mutton, onions, and grated carrots.
Happy Independence Day, Uzbekistan!

The Bangladesh flag shown in today’s Doodle features a red disk against a green backdrop. This representation of a sun rising across the nation’s landscape proudly flies in celebration of over 50 years of Bangladesh independence.

This day is often filled with parades and fairs throughout the country. Happy Independence Day, Bangladesh!

Today’s Doodle celebrates the Independence Day of Ghana, an African nation formerly known as the Gold Coast. On this day in 1957, Ghana became the first African country south of the Sahara to gain independence from colonial rule.
As the first for the region, Ghana and its independence movement catalyzed independence movements in other African countries. Celebrations of this anniversary can be heard throughout the nation as citizens sing along to “Ghana Freedom,” a famous song of independence; and dance to regional variations of Highlife music.
Carnivals and parades are held across Ghana, from the capital of Accra on the scenic coastline of the Gulf of Guinea to the northern heritage-rich city of Tamale. Local foods, such as the Ghanaian jollof rice (a spicy rice dish with meat and vegetables), serve as centerpieces in many private homes, where the Ghanaian flag, depicted in the Doodle artwork, is raised in honor of decades of independence.
Happy Independence Day, Ghana!
