India, a country known for its rich cultural diversity and historical legacy, celebrates numerous holidays that hold huge significance for its people. The country is known for its diversity and religious affairs; almost every month there’s one or another religious event that gives the people a reason to celebrate.
However, there are three official national holidays in India, which include Republic Day, Independence Day, and Gandhi Jayanti. All these holidays not only honour pivotal events but also serve as a reflection of the country’s cultural supremacy.
The observance of national holidays also plays a crucial role in upholding employee rights, as it is a legal requirement mandated by labour laws and government regulations. On national holidays such as Republic Day, Gandhi Jayanti, and Independence Day, companies in India are obliged to grant employees a day off.
On the other hand, the national holidays in India differ from the state-wise holidays as those holidays are provided by the state, which has to be implemented by the employers or companies. There are still a lot of companies that violate such laws; however, the government takes strict action once it comes to their knowledge.
