I would like to draw the kind attention of the Durga Puja celebrants who are the most promising, potential and esteemed students of the highest seat of learning in the country.

They stand a good chance of getting jobs abroad. India, being the only country where the festival in question is a holiday (to my belief), has too many of them already. In case of employment, elsewhere except in India, the festival is not a holiday.

From my experience, I find that 50% of the expatriate employees in the Gulf countries are Indians and most of them are Hindus where Puja (commonly called Deewali, festival of lights) is not a holiday, followed by the Indian Christians with no holiday for Christmas.

I expect a logical and scientific way of thought from the scholars from the highest scientific educational institution in the country.
