The Pale Blue Dot Should've Appeared on Google's Forehead

I wanted to post a picture of Astrophysicist Carl Sagan not only because he is handsome but also because it's his birthday today. 

Sagan would have been 79.

But then again, it's not simply his birthday that made me search for a picture on Google, but an (glaring) omission on the part of the Google Doodlers to commemorate a famous scientific philosopher's birthday.

Who can forget the paradigm-altering concept of the earth being a mere "pale blue dot", an inconsequential entity in the cosmic scale? 

The fact of the earth's relative inconsequentiality was meant to humble us into seeing how petty the internecine ideological and militaristic warfare between the various tribes of mankind were. 

Is Google's elision of Carl Sagan a sign that the Google Universe is becoming, among other things, Indianized?

Sure the power structure of the globe has shifted and a way in which this shift has manifested recently is the appearance of Shakuntala Devi on Google Doodle.

Shakuntala Devi is a math prodigy from India.

Had Google Universe been operational when America itself wasn't headed in the direction of a pale blue dot on the firmament of global power, then a commemoration of the likes of Shakuntala Devi wouldn't have been conceivable.

But humility is one thing and an Indianization is another. If an Indianization of Google Universe means a forgetting of luminaries like Carl Sagan and a trumpeting of beings like Shakuntala Devi (somebody who built very little philosophy on the platform of mathematics), then I'm not in favor of an Indianization.

I'd rather that Google adopt a more cosmopolitan view in its selection of whom to commemorate.

The pale blue dot should have appeared on Google's forehead to show that Google isn't receding into a coy Indian bride (they have vermilion dots on their foreheads).
