by the way i paid Euro 20 to see The Vatican or Eiffel tower, 10 euro to see the terrce of Duomo in Milan 70 euro for a gondola ride in Venice and you say Rs 750 to see one of the 7 wonders The Taj mahal as expensive!!! Indian government should charge even more or Governments should charge less in Europe for their international monuments before saying such a thing and by the way Indian govt charges less from Indians because they dont want to deprive ordinary local citizens to see their own country's heritage!!! Secondly, We have many national holidays but they are always optional institions can permit these holidays at their own descretion..but atleast we do not have 2 day weekend which in fact means 53 more holidays in a year which the west tend to ignore....
