Gabe,
I only wanted to point out that the dynamic, progressive and clean, ex-cm of
Goa, Mr. Parrikar had PROPOSED to cancel not just Good Friday but also some
other public holidays as well, as on the forum none was mentioning about other
holidays.
In a progressive society categorizing holidays based on religion etc. is
rediculuos and irrational to me.
Regards
JR
