This is an old chestnut, but I want to use the peg to make a different point. How and why did Sunday become a holiday in India? The best answer is the DoPT response (in 2012) to a RTI filed in Jammu by Raman Sharma, asking the same question. Sunday has never directly been declared a holiday, not officially. At least, DoPT said, “There is no information regarding declaration of Sunday as holiday.” However, in 1985, DoPT issued an order. “The Government of India are pleased to introduce 5-day week in the civil administration offices of the Government of India with effect from 3rd June, 1985. Such Government offices would now work for five days a week from Monday to Friday, with all Saturdays as closed.” By implication, Sunday would be a holiday. The complete answer, as with many of our labour laws, lies in the labour movement and factory legislation, replicated in India after such legislation was passed in Britain. We may now be familiar with the Factories Act of 1948. Here is a quote from a piece Raja Kulkarni wrote in Economic Weekly in June 1949 on this new legislation.
