Search-engine major Google on Monday joined millions of people to pay tribute to the 23-old-gang rape victim. The search engine major has placed a vigil candle marking its tribute towards the victim.
Unlike its other doodles, where the logo is made in an animated form, the Google India’s homepage this time features a candle just below the search box.
Today’s doodle, on bringing the mouse / cursor over to candle, one can read the text “In memory of the Delhi braveheart”.
The young physiotherapy intern was raped and brutally tortured by six men in a moving bus on December 16. She was being treated at Delhi and later shifted to Singapore, where she breathed her last on December 29.
The incident and her subsequent death was followed by protests across the country.
As per foreign media reports, Google is said to have added a solitary white candle to its US homepage following the tragic news of the school shooting in Newtown, which read, "Our hearts are with the families and community of Newtown, Connecticut".

A very nice gesture to the victim.
The whole nation felt grieved and the new year eve and new year 2013
was almost given up by the Indian- whether he lived in urban or rural
India. The out pouring of grief was of such a magnitude, that showed
the people really empathized with the girl's family. Her indomitable
spirit of courage, her will to live, her fight in the midst of
unbearable physical pain, made her a heroine. No body called protest.
But every single Indian was out on the street, praying for her,
protesting for her, braving the Police lathis. Gandhiji would have
been proud of India of 2012. His "non violence" for a noble cause was
put to test.Politicians shed crocodile tears. But the mercurial
people, didn't want them. This was one of the greatest departures from
the past, and this alone, will make this protest historical. This was
a 'movement of the people, by the people, for the people". This was
what the frail 23 year old woman did. She transformed the Society.
Brought self discipline. Self introspection.
