I'm an aethist. Even I find this absurd. How can a government which declares Diwali, Dassera as holidays, say that the gods who millions of Hindus worship does not exist!!!! If they really wanted this strait for economy purpose, then they shouldn't declare Diwali and Dassera holidays. No holiday for Holi etc.
This way we will have more days to work and the money will double for the government.
The government is digging its own grave by saying this. Especially with Sonia Gandhi as its president.
I thought that our politicians were illeterate but were god fearing.
Imagine this, our politicians are illeterate, corrupt and not even god fearing.
