Those are Republic Day, Shaheed Diwas, Independence Day, Gandhi Jayanti, and Mahavir Jayanti.

Plus, any election days trigger unlisted sudden dry days that definitely won't appear on a standard tourist calendar.
HHOST
Exactly.
DhruvHOST
It's Monday, October 5th.
DhruvHOST
Uh, I suppose you're all back from the Gandhi Jayanti long weekend.
DhruvHOST
My name is Dhruv, uh, and, um, thank you for joining us at The Offline Network.
DhruvHOST
We're streaming live.
Pranay KotasthaneHOST
We are back with another episode of Watching the Wheels.
Pranay KotasthaneHOST
In the last episode, we had promised a follow-up to the Gandhi Jayanti special.
Pranay KotasthaneHOST
So let's find out what that is.
Amit VarmaHOST
So, Amit, let's start.
Amit VarmaHOST
What's the follow-up going to be? So, the follow-up is like this.
Amit VarmaHOST
Our last episode was released on Gandhi Jayanti, October 2nd.
Amit VarmaHOST
We spoke about the multitudes of the great man.
Amit VarmaHOST
And on October 5th, this Monday, or the Monday that just went, I released an episode of The Seen and the Unseen with Ramchandra Guha.
Govindraj EthirajHOST
The Sensex 2 has fallen for eight straight weeks, losing about 8.5% over this period.
Govindraj EthirajHOST
Last week, which was a holiday-shortened one, also saw the Nifty 50 logging its worst weekly performance since March, with markets shut on Friday for Gandhi Jayanti.
Govindraj EthirajHOST
Last week, the Nifty 50 lost about 3%, the steepest since the week ended March 13 this year, when it fell about 5.3%.
Govindraj EthirajHOST
The Sensex was down to 71,909, losing about 2.7% over the week.
Amit VarmaHOST
So this episode is airing on October 2nd, regardless of when you're watching it.
Amit VarmaHOST
And we thought, hey, you know, it airs on October 2nd as Gandhi Jayanti.
Amit VarmaHOST
So why don't we have an episode on the great man? And, you know, it's almost a cliche of mine.
Amit VarmaHOST
And, you know, Shruti and Pranay will laugh at this, that I keep saying we contain multitudes.
Audrey CarvilleHOST
The book is called Love Between Men, and it's published by Cheerio.

Now, two days ago, India celebrated Gandhi Jayanti, the annual holiday which marks the birthday of Mahatma Gandhi, the key leader in India's independence movement.
Audrey CarvilleHOST
In that country, Gandhi belongs to the lineage of ascetic saints who have never ceased, in the eyes of Hindus, to represent the highest form of life on Earth.
Audrey CarvilleHOST
His title of the Mahatma makes him heir to a great company of religious teachers, mystics, and devotees.
Afshin RattansiHOST
Britain tortured Julian Assange to near death, but years after his escape from the threats of US torture, the questions WikiLeaks raised about elite NATO nation class power are the context of today's wars on Russia, Iran, and BRICS.
Afshin RattansiHOST
For India, as it marked Gandhi Jayanthi, New Delhi sent its delegates to Islamabad for the SCO's coordinators meeting, engaging Pakistan with China, Russia, and Iran.
Afshin RattansiHOST
At the same time, Indian and ASEAN navies are conducting their second maritime war practice in the Philippines.
Afshin RattansiHOST
Russia, China, and the USA are all ASEAN dialogue partners.
Karan RaoHOST
Let's jump right into our first story today.
Ayesha MehtaHOST
Police detain hundreds on Gandhi Jayanti in Delhi.
Karan RaoHOST
Yeah.
Karan RaoHOST
So according to a really detailed dispatch from Telegraph India, the Delhi police executed this sprawling security operation on Friday, which resulted in the detention of at least 700 protesters.
Karan RaoHOST
It fractures the leadership of the protests and diffuses the media focus.
Ayesha MehtaHOST
But the media focus remained incredibly sharp, honestly, because of the rhetoric.
Ayesha MehtaHOST
I mean, the historical irony of this occurring on October 2nd, Gandhi Jayanti, was wielded like a weapon.
Ayesha MehtaHOST
Minaj Jha, while physically being ushered into a police bus, explicitly called the authorities Godsevati people.
Abhinandan SekhriHOST
Usually, we shoot Hafta on Friday.
Abhinandan SekhriHOST
It so happens that Friday is not just Gandhi Jayanti.
Abhinandan SekhriHOST
It is the day there's a protest starting in Bombay with the CJP.
Abhinandan SekhriHOST
One in Delhi, which Neha has announced.
Kushal MehraHOST
Uh, Nikhil is busy with some court work, so, you know, for people who don't know, Nikhil is actually a very good lawyer, so sometimes he works.
Kushal MehraHOST
And that he's working on Gandhi Jayanti.
Kushal MehraHOST
Imagine, I'm so happy Nikhil is working on Gandhi Jayanti.
Kushal MehraHOST
Everybody is, uh, uh, whining about-
Bharath RamarajGUEST
He's also working.
Kushal MehraHOST
... you're also working.
Kushal MehraHOST
I'm also working.
Kushal MehraHOST
