Holidays in India
Noting that sombody wanted to add more information today that seemed relevant to me, but it was quickly reverted, I thought I'd take a look around.
- The template is used only in this place. That's an inappropriate use, and hits the servers hard for no purpose. Get rid of it.
- Only 3 holidays are listed. Previous lists had:
- All travel sites, including those indexed by the ministry of culture, list at least 5 as national holidays.
- The ministry of personnel has considerably more!
- A lot of interesting information about the holidays and festivals has been removed,leaving a bare list.
What's going on here?
- I can't speak of the List of Festivals in India, but can comment on the others.
- New Year is *not* an official holiday. It is a working day in many parts of India.
- May 1 is celebrated as Maharashtra Day and Gujarat Day in their respective states and takes precedence over ILD.
- The pdf contains holidays that are applicable to only Central govt employees. Holidays mentioned in the pdf closely match holidays which are declared by individual states. =Nichalp «Talk»= 07:33, 9 January 2006 (UTC)
