String 3/3:
A better approach could be to have only 10 compulsory Gazetted Holidays, with employees free to choose additional holidays from a common list according to their religious or cultural preferences. This would make the system fair, flexible and truly inclusive.

[Col RK Rastogi @colonelrastogi]

String 2/3:
In a diverse country like India, the holiday policy should be based on a principle of equal treatment, inclusiveness and individual choice

[Col RK Rastogi @colonelrastogi]

String 1/3:
Is it time to rethink our holiday policy? Eid-e-Milad, marking Prophet Muhammad’s birthday, on 26 Aug 2026 is a Gazetted Holiday, while Raksha Bandhan on 28 Aug 2026, celebrated by a much larger section of the Hindu community, is only a Restricted Holiday.

Many soldiers make the ultimate sacrifice for the motherland. 🇮🇳
Is this fair? Shouldn’t those who serve the nation with courage and sacrifice receive equal dignity, respect & fair entitlements?

Why do legislators get lifelong pension & other benefits merely after being elected, irrespective of their tenure?
What about our soldiers, who dedicate the prime years of their lives to serving the nation?

Call me petty, but I’m delighted that Maria Machaao won the Nobel Peace Prize — and not arrogant Donald. Sometimes justice feels poetic. 😌🏆 #NobelPrize #Peace

They called to say it was ready to eat meal for curr_booking. But no such info on booking, charged full. Only cutlets were missing. Why term it ready to eat now? What abt toilets and newspaper? Seek accountability & compensation. @RailwaySeva @RailMinIndia @AshwiniVaishnaw

I, 70 yr old cancer patient, travelled on #VandeBharat 22447 (21.08.25, PNR 2936670192, Seat 1 C2). Horrible catering fraud—no breakfast cutlets/newspaper, no complaint register, toilets dirty. Seek accountability & compensation. @RailwaySeva @RailMinIndia @AshwiniVaishnaw

@IRCTCofficial They called to say that it was ready to eat meal for curr booking. But no info on booking, charged full. But cutlets box of the menu was missing. The staff said he forgot when i got down at cdg. Why term it ready to eat meal now?

After decades of active military service, veterans deserve respect.

Bureaucratic apathy creates additional battles for those that have already fought for the country.

A tale of two mindsets:

Something interesting happened with my dad, a retired Army Colonel, today in Haryana, a state known to contribute sizeable numbers to the armed forces.

Dad has been running from pillar to post for roughly 20 years now for a pending legal case in Haryana

[Col RK Rastogi @colonelrastogi]

@LakshyaRustagi Sure enough! Can we also infer that more numbers of qualified people for success positions are now available.

Our heartfelt condolences to the families of the three IAS aspirants who tragically lost their lives due to the flooding of illegally run basement libraries in Delhi. This devastating loss is deeply felt by the community.

Despite this tragedy, only one assistant engineer and one junior engineer have been suspended. This raises serious concerns about the accountability of higher officials, including the LG, Chief Minister, ministers, and other concerned authorities.

We demand answers and immediate action. Will those responsible for this gross negligence be held accountable for what can only be described as the broad daylight murder of three promising young lives? Justice must be served without delay.

Are these actions driven by selfish gains and personal ego rather than genuine public interest? It's time to hold our leaders accountable to the oath they took.

Why do they forget the Constitution when they distribute freebies out of revenue collected directly or indirectly from the poor and middle class through various forms of tax?

All MPs take an oath in the name of the Constitution of India. But why did they forget the Constitution when an emergency was declared in India on 25 June 1975?
