For every past leader, who played some significant role in one or another sphere, holidays are declared. Declaring holidays has also become a political issue. Some of the holidays are of national significance, so can’t be done away with, but we should consider to avoid unnecessary holidays. We wish to pay true homage to those great leaders, who worked hard for our social and economic well being, in memory or reverence of them, holidays have been declared. Is it proper to enjoy holidays in reverence of those, who worked days and night to make this country, progressive, prosperous and peaceful? Paying respect and homage should not be associated with declaring holidays.



As far as upholding the noble morals preached by these great leaders, this can be well done in far better ways than declaring holidays, hampering work, causing wastage of time and lot of unavoidable harassment to those innocent people, who suffer because of such holidays.

We must realize that a closure of even a day, causes a huge loss to the exchequer, slows the pace of progress in this fast competitive world. In a country facing many acute problems like population explosion, poverty, water scarcity energy shortage, unemployment, and many more, closure of offices for more than 50% of days in a year, simply means retarding the pace of progress and delay in solving the problems faced by our own people. It is to be realized that we are responsible for shaping our destiny although the choice between comfort and hard work is really tough one.
