Why Sunday is a Holiday in India..?

Question

Why Sunday is a Holiday in India..?

Answer 1

Jokingly, because on Holi day in India there is no official work done.

Actually, at most places all over the world usually  it is a five day work week principle. thus Sunday again is observed as a holiday. moreover the connotation of a holiday in our country is observed prima facie as a day off from work, which could be any other day as well.

see people get tired after working for 8 hrs a day, these days 10-12 hrs, thanks to MNCs; thereby it violates the rule / norm of work hours prescribed by ILO. Thus one day off on the last day of the work week is accepted as a good method to put people at rest on SUNDAY.

i hope this suffices your doubt.

have a nice time!

bye!

Answer 6

In most of the Indian Languages, the word for Sunday is or Ravivar, Adivar and It'var, with Adi (Ah'-Dee) or Ravi being the Sanskrit names for the Sun.

It has traditionally been the first day of the week, but from the mid-20th century it is often also regarded as the seventh day of the civil calendar week

Sunday is named after Sunne (Sól), Germanic goddess of the sun, from which the word sun is also derived. The practice of naming the seven days after the ten known "planets" goes back to Babylonian or Egyptian times and was adopted by Greeks and Romans.

Sunday is considered a non-working day in many countries of the World, and are part of the weekend. Countries predominantly influenced by Jewish or Islamic religions have Friday and/or Saturday as a weekly non-working day instead.

The Gregorian calendar repeats every 400 years, and no century starts on a Sunday. The Jewish New Year never falls on a Sunday. Any month beginning on a Sunday will contain a Friday the 13th.
