Why don’t call it a “राष्ट्रव्यापी बंद्”?

Events, Future, General, India | 0 comments

Government orders IT/BT/BPO sectors to declare holiday for all the employees on 15th August as a part of “Independence day” celebrations.  They even threaten to take action if they won’t do so. Isn’t it a foolishness?

For those who don’t think there is any foolishness, here I have my voice (Free speech as in FREEDOM) :

  • Its my country’s Independence day and I should not be sitting jobless. I should be working on Independence day to add more value to my country’s economy.
  • Inflation rate is growing every day. If we don’t work across the country for a day, we are at loss of millions of rupees. This money can bring in prosperity to my country and we can plan to bring down the inflation rate too.
  • Why target a sector when you can’t think of closing everything down?
  • Why leaves are being dictated? Don’t we who work in IT sectors have a freedom of choice to use the leaves as and when we require?
  • Building country is a mission critical operation. We need discipline followed by the armed forces to make the millions of Indians dreams come true. It does not require a day off to prepare ourself for the next year of independence.
  • There was not a single “DAY OFF” when our freedom fighters fought for our nation’s Independence. Then why TAKE OFF?
  • If there is a bomb in a corner of the road, entire state gives off for its schools and colleges its precautionary measure. Why off on a national day like “INDEPENDENCE DAY”? Is there any reason?
  • Why don’t you all call it a nationwide bhand (“राष्ट्रव्यापी बंद्”) if you want companies to call off even when there are people who think they want to work on such days to add a new value for the celebrations?
  • Is there any of your bureaucratic policy which stops a citizen of India stop from working on Independence day? Hope I don’t have a policy to breath.

I have lot many more questions like these. Why these questions won’t come in mind of those who are writing “RULES” for leading our nation? Are you lazy to sit at home instead of building the nation?
