What is this double standards, INDIA?
I read that Pongal has been removed from the list of compulsory holidays by the 'poor' central govt, whatever it may mean.
From the web site
http://pmjandhanyojana.co.in/holiday-list-central-government-employees-2017-india/
I see the compulsory holiday list includes,
Mahavir jayanti,
Buddha purnima,
Gurunanak jayanthi,
besides a few other religious festivals.
Who celebrates these three listed holidays here in Tamil Nadu? No doubt there may be some people celebrating, but what about us the Tamilians?
Don't we miss service from banks for our daily business and needs on these days though more than 95% of bank employees themselves do not celebrate these "events"( not functions as defined by you)?
Most Tamil Nadu private offices work on these days.
If you can give holidays for these so called functions, what prevents you from including Pongal as a compulsory functional holiday in all locations.
Let all INDIAN public enjoy another day as a holiday, whether it is worth to them or not!
If you are running short of days, remove one of these!
Enough damage has ALREADY been done from preventing Tamils from celebrating Jallikattu, that is a great CULTURAL event here.
Purposefully "BY SOME WESTERN AIDED ORGANISATIONS" that has been brought under the list of cruelty to animals. But is it CRUEL?
Then why not prevent production and sale of mutton and chicken? is that not cruel killing of animals?
Please remember that such DOUBLE standards will lead to your downfall, whether you are headed by any political party, BJP now or Congress earlier.
Let us Transform India, not divide.
"Unity in diversity", what does it mean?
Please mature or get ready for revolutions, like French revolution of "21st century"! more

The Cultural activities both of human association and with the association of the Animals those are life part and dependent on both shall not be banned . Inhuman , uncultural , and those lead to danger to Animals or human can be REGULATED FOR SAFETY & life preference . Jallikattu , Bull/Ox load Tests , Bullick Carts Load Budging , Horse Riding etc., alongwith Community enjoyment activities are not to be banned . We are viewing the Heroic / Challenging Performances displayed in T.V.Media like [ ZABARDAST / SAAHASA KRITYA ] etc., etc., and even the ANIMAL HUNTS IN FOREIGN CHANNELS DISPLAYED IN THIS COUNTRY besides Sexy Dances with Sex inciting Expressions etc., etc., which are not controlled by the Governments and Courts . Regional Culture , Custom and Systems are not to be set aside totally . We had stopped Sacrifice in Yagas which takes place very rarely when these are conducted . BUT , EVERY DAY THOUSANDS OF SHEEP AND HUNDREDS OF GOAT etc., etc., are Killed for Eating its Meat as Food . What is Law AND WHERE IS JUSTICE . more

Horses are feeded with Liquor [ Rum ] to run fast terribly . Racing Horses are trained in certain conditions too . A controlling stick/Hunter is necessary and no body will see . Horses are run with closed eyes because hey afraid much . If a Horse is afraid , none can stop it or control it without any damage . Closing of its eyes while on taking work from it is also not a crime or punishment to it . more

Agree that Pongal needs to be allowed as holiday esp in TN. Disagree that Jallikattu should be allowed. It's cruelty against bulls(part of the cow family).It regressive and people can change and adopt some other non cruel sport. Yes tolerating non vegetarianism is a kind of sheer cruelty as well, but two wrongs don't make a right. Those are historical blunders by Gandhi and company, who himself being veg,unfortunately did not emphasize on the same and allowed dilution..One cannot say that just because one wrong is allowed, another wrong can be allowed as well..it doesn't make sense.. more

In this country , even prisoners are released for Pongal Festival . This is the festival of Indian Heritage and is the result of the qualities of the Nation glorified by Dr. Sri Rabindranath Tagore praising the geographycal benefits of pleasant life requirement contemplated in the national anthem , the Jana Gana Mana . Thus , this festival is of national importance that brings New Food Grains with the Universal Holy Uttaraayana , that cycles the livelihood provisions of and in the Earth . more
