4th July, 2008 is not a Holiday in India. 4th July is the Independence Day of United States of America and is a National Holiday in Americaa. May be your friend in India is working in a BPO, which work for an American Firm as they will be having all American holidays.

4th july was not a holiday in india and no one celebrates …this is the day of independence day america. and celebrations are there in america only. it is not a day so vital in india and if you say any, that will be only a region level and not national level..and in region level also, i don’t reckon the 4th july is so vital in india.

Dear Friend

You might have misled by some people.
The date July 4th is not a special one for Indians, and not at all celebrating as holiday.

Sometimes, July 4th comes on Sundays… then it will be loved as a normal weekend holiday in India… lol

July 4th is vital only for those in USA and those working in US firms. It is the Independence Day of USA and thus is a National Holiday in US. No others have that much importance of that day… (But for me… it is very vital and enjoying a lot, because it is my anniversary… lol)

Best of Luck
Thx
