RAMZAN 10 DAYS HOLIDAY IN INDIA
Respected Sir,
This has with reference to our efforts in getting a School Holiday to facilitate Muslim Community to celebrate the most Important Festival of“EID”.Referring to Diwali Vacation and Christmas Holidays, we have submitted our request/application towards Ramazan Season Holidays namely“RamazanEid Holidays”for only ONE WEEK.
Someimportant points:
We draw your attention to a very significant & healthy trend of general awareness in getting our children educated and this conscious attitude can be seen amongst Muslim population too, who constitute a formidable presence, yet most un-educated and under privileged & financially backward & deprived of even basic right to education across all communities throughout India. These facts were covered in depth and practical remedies suggested by‘Sachhar Committee Report’tabled in Parliament, prepared by Hon’ble Justice Rajendra Sachhar (retd.)Muslim children are fasting dutifully. At present, fasting period is about 15 to 16 hours and Muslims stay away from even water, let alone any other diet during these hours throughout full month of Ramazan. This fasting is compulsory on all adults and in Islam obligatory is not upon age but upon reaching puberty.
As an average allMuslim students studying from class V th are surely fasting though there are kids in 4thand 3rdstandards who are also fasting. The last 10 days of Ramazan are very important and 1 night among these 10 days are as valuable as 1000 months and to getblessings ofthisNight, Muslims keep awake and pray all night long.Last few days of Ramazan are being used for shopping of Eid festival.
Based on these & other very important points we have submitted our appeal to the State Government of Maharashtra and tothe Central Government and other Education Departments & Institutionsto consider a week’s holidayfor all students of all categories of school during last days of Ramazan.
This year we have requested several schools to consider the following leave as RamazanEid Holidays for a reference to initiate this necessary step.
23rdJuly to 31stJuly’2014 i.e. ONLY SIX (6) DAYS LEAVE.
23 / 24 / 25 WED THU FRI =3 DAYS
26 / 27 SAT - SUN ALREADY WEEKEND HOLIDAY
28 MON =1 DAY
29 TUE ALREADY EID HOLIDAY DECLARED
30 / 31 JUL =2 DAYTOTAL "6" DAYS REQUESTED
We request you to initiate this step and consider RamazanEid Holidays so that students are settled down in a better way and enjoy their Eid with much funfare and festivities including customary visits & meetings and also take some rest after an overpowering fasting Month of Ramazan.
Thanking you and hope you will consider the same.
Warm regards,
Ebrahim Soorya
