International Yoga Day, celebrated annually on June 21st, is a global phenomenon that recognizes the ancient Indian practice of yoga and its profound impact on our physical, mental, and spiritual well-being.
Why Is International Yoga Day Celebrated?
The credit for establishing International Yoga Day goes to Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi. In 2014, he addressed the United Nations General Assembly, highlighting yoga’s numerous benefits and proposing June 21st as the ideal date for celebration. The proposal received overwhelming support, and on December 11th, 2014, the UNGA officially declared June 21st as International Yoga Day.
The significance of International Yoga Day lies in its ability to bring people from various backgrounds, cultures, and nations together to celebrate and practice yoga. It is a day dedicated to raising awareness about the numerous benefits of practicing yoga and promoting its holistic approach to health and well-being.
” Yoga is not about self-improvement; it is about self-acceptance. “

May 1 is globally celebrated as International Labour Day, dedicated to recognizing the struggles and contributions of the working class. Originating from movements in America and Chicago advocating for an eight-hour workday, it evolved into a day for workers’ rights worldwide.
International Labour Day serves as an annual reminder to acknowledge the challenges and contributions of workers and the working class.
History
The roots of International Labour Day trace back to the events of 1886 in America, where laborers demanded an eight-hour workday. The peaceful demonstration escalated into violence, culminating in what became known as The Haymarket Affair, marking the inception of International Labour Day.
Subsequently, in 1889, various socialist parties in Europe united to designate May 1st as International Labour Day, a tradition upheld annually since then.
Significance
International Labour Day serves as a reminder of the invaluable contributions made by laborers and the working class to societal and national development. It emphasizes the importance of laborers understanding their rights, as they often face exploitation.
By empowering laborers with knowledge of their rights, the day aims to foster better working and living conditions for workers, urging collective action towards their improvement.

May 1 is celebrated as Maharashtra Day, Gujarat Foundation Day and International Workers’ Day. Two states of India, Maharashtra and Gujarat, celebrate their foundation day today.
About 63 years ago, the foundation of both the states was laid. The two states were formed on this day in 1960 after the division of the erstwhile state of Bombay.
How did Gujarat and Maharashtra become separate states?
Both the states of Gujarat and Maharashtra were part of Bombay Province before and for some time after independence. At that time the number of people speaking Marathi and Gujarati was highest. Due to language-wise regionalisation, both demanded a separate state.
The Samyukta Maharashtra Movement and the Maha Gujarat Movement became the face of these demands. Given the momentum of protests in different corners of the state, the Government of India decided to frame the Bombay Reorganization Act. After its passage in Parliament, Bombay State was divided into Maharashtra and Gujarat. On May 1, 1960, Gujarat and Maharashtra were declared as two separate states.
How is this day celebrated in Gujarat and Maharashtra?
The day is celebrated with many parades, events and celebrations in Maharashtra and Gujarat. In Maharashtra, the main ceremony is held at Shivaji Park in Dadar. Whereas in Gujarat the main event is organized at Sabarmati Riverfront. These events highlight the culture and traditions of both the states. This day is declared a public holiday in Maharashtra.

Michhami Dukkadam is a significant festival celebrated by followers of Jainism.
Derived from the Prakrit language, the phrase “Michhami Dukkadam” translates to “I seek forgiveness” or “May all the evil I have done be forgiven.” This festival holds great spiritual and ethical importance in Jain culture.
During this time, Jains devote themselves to introspection and seek forgiveness from their family, friends, and even strangers. It is a time for self-reflection, personal growth, and nurturing relationships. Jains believe that by seeking forgiveness and forgiving others, one can attain inner peace and liberation from the cycle of birth and death.
The festival is typically celebrated on the last day of Paryushana, an eight or ten-day period of fasting and self-discipline for Jains. On this day, Jains visit temples, offer prayers, and participate in various rituals. They seek forgiveness from each other by saying “Michhami Dukkadam” and seek blessings for a harmonious life ahead.
Michhami Dukkadam is an expression of compassion, humility, and the desire to start anew. It encourages individuals to let go of grudges, conflicts, and negative emotions. By embracing forgiveness, Jains aim to cultivate love, peace, and unity within themselves and their communities.
This festival not only strengthens interpersonal relationships but also promotes ethical values such as non-violence, truthfulness, and non-possessiveness. It serves as a reminder of the importance of forgiveness in leading a virtuous and righteous life.
As Michhami Dukkadam is celebrated, Jains reflect on their past actions, seek forgiveness, and commit themselves to leading a more morally upright and compassionate existence. It is a time of renewal and a chance for individuals to embark on a journey of spiritual growth.
Observance and Rituals
Michhami Dukkadam is observed on the last day of Paryushana, an eight-day fasting and penance period during the Jain holy month of Bhadrapada (August to September). The festival encourages Jains to engage in acts of introspection, self-purification, and forgiveness.
Conclusion
Michhami Dukkadam stands as a powerful reminder of the core tenets of Jainism— ahimsa (non-violence), anekantavada (multiplicity of viewpoints), and aparigraha (non-attachment). It emphasizes the transformative potential of forgiveness and compassion in the journey towards spiritual enlightenment.
Through this festival, Jains reaffirm their commitment to these principles and inspire others to embrace the values of forgiveness, kindness, and harmony in their own lives.
Michhami Dukkadam serves as a beacon of hope and a call to introspection, urging individuals to let go of grudges, seek forgiveness, and nurture a world filled with empathy and love.
Independence Day is celebrated annually on 15 August as a public holiday in India commemorating the nation’s independence from the United Kingdom on 15 August 1947, the day when the provisions of the Indian Independence Act, which transferred legislative sovereignty to the Indian Constituent Assembly, came into effect.
India retained King George VI as head of state until its transition to a republic, when the Constitution of India came into effect on 26 January 1950 (celebrated as Indian Republic Day) and replaced the dominion prefix, Dominion of India, with the enactment of the sovereign law Constitution of India. India attained independence following the independence movement noted for largely non-violent resistance and civil disobedience.
Independence coincided with the partition of India, in which British India was divided along religious lines into the Dominions of India and Pakistan; the partition was accompanied by violent riots and mass casualties, and the displacement of nearly 15 million people due to religious violence. On 15 August 1947, the first Prime Minister of India, Jawaharlal Nehru raised the Indian national flag above the Lahori Gate of the Red Fort in Delhi. On each subsequent Independence Day, the incumbent Prime Minister customarily raises the flag and gives an address to the nation. The entire event is broadcast by Door darshan, India’s national broadcaster, and usually begins with the shehnai music of Ustad Bismillah Khan. Independence Day is observed throughout India with flag-hoisting ceremonies, parades and cultural events. It is a national holiday.
During the 1930s, the reform was gradually legislated by the British; Congress won victories in the resulting elections195–197 . The next decade was beset with political turmoil: Indian participation in World War II, the Congress’ final push for non-cooperation, and an upsurge of Muslim nationalism led by the All-India Muslim League. The escalating political tension was capped by Independence in 1947. The jubilation was tempered by the bloody partition of colonial India into India and Pakistan.
