When is Veterans Day 2024? Here's why it doesn't always fall on a Monday
As 2024 comes to a close, it’s time to reflect on the moments, people, and topics that captured the attention of millions across India.
Google’s “India’s Year in Search 2024” report has unveiled the top 10 trending searches by Indians, providing a glimpse into the topics and events that dominated conversations and kept the nation informed throughout the year.
The search trends reveal a strong Indian affinity for cricket and politics, with the Indian Premier League (IPL), T20 World Cup, and the BJP leading the list of most-searched keywords.
Not so surprisingly, the top trending searches in India prominently feature cricket matches, as it’s not just a sport but an emotion for many Indians.
The Indian Premier League (IPL), a highly popular cricket league known for its star players, has remained in the spotlight this season, especially with the recent player auctions.
After India’s defeat in the T20 World Cup last November, this year’s series generated even more interest.
Not only did India win the cup, but the announcements of Virat Kohli, Rohit Sharma, and Ravindra Jadeja retiring from T20 formats also captured attention.
In addition, the Paris 2024 Olympics, held after a five-year gap, featured a significant participation of Indian athletes, with 117 competitors across 16 sports disciplines.
This contingent, comprising 70 men and 47 women, aimed for medals and garnered considerable attention as India continues to grow in Olympic sports.
On the political front, a major highlight was the Lok Sabha elections of 2024, during which the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) secured a third consecutive term with Prime Minister Narendra Modi at the helm, making the BJP one of the most searched terms this year.
Furthermore, India faced record-breaking temperatures this year, raising health and environmental concerns related to excessive heat and global warming, which also became a trending topic.
Sadly, this year, Indians mourned the passing of the revered industrialist and philanthropist Ratan Tata. People remembered him for his contributions to business, charitable work, and social initiatives.
