Google Doodle is celebrating the 96th birth anniversary of Dr Bupen Hazarika, a legendary Assamese singer, composer and filmmaker whose creations played a huge role in the state’s socio-cultural reforms and national integration. The Doodle today was created by guest artist Rutuja Mali. Dr Hazarika’s work popularised Assam’s local cinema and folk music. In 2019, nearly eight years after his death, he was awarded the Bharat Ratna, India’s highest civilian honour.
