Default National holidays in India

Does any one in the government ever bothers to think how many public holidays we have in India? Apparently it’s the highest in the world. The amount of lost man hours we get due to these useless holidays is just idiotic.

Why do we have a holiday on 2nd of October? Well Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi would spit on your face if he knew his birthday is declared a national holiday and the whole nation doesn’t work on his birthday and gets behind the whole world by one day and looses so much production and the work which could be done in that one day.

Gandhi ji never said he would like to see his loved nation to sit around and do nothing to celebrate his birthday. If I was in power I would declare Gandhi Ji’s birthday as a day when every one would do double shifts and I am sure Gandhi ji’s soul would bless me for doing it.

Gandhi ji wanted our nation to progress and be able to stand side by side with other developed nations but hey we decided to sit our ass instead and loose his birthday as a day when the whole nation does nothing but listen to bhajans.We can all remember the great Gandhi ji by working all day and having a loud speaker with his favorite bhajans running all day long.

Disagree with it? Well say it then and get heard by millions who will visit this page in the years to come. J

I would be very interested to find out who when and why declared 2nd of October as a national holiday and this was just an example for argument sake there are lots more useless holidays which don’t make sense.

You have written what and that have been in my mind long time. Yes, indians are the ones who enjoy maximum public holidays than any other nation. I can say that in U.S. there will be hardly 5 to 6 federal holidays while we are having more around 20 per year and apart from that we do hartals and strike to make it even worse. The people who enjoy all these holidays are state and central govt and bank employees!!
